Festival Series - Sundal and Sweet for Navaratri 2008 Celebration

Navaratri or Dasara is a very fun festival in India, especially for kids. In the evening, when that day's pooja is over, the kids go to each house for collecting Prasadams. They also sing to the god. I remember my childhood days carrying polythene cover to collect all the sundals. Fun!

Navaratri is celebrated for nine days. This year Navaratri started on 30 Sept 2008 and will run till Oct 8th 2008. Oct 9, 2008 will be Vijaya dasami.

There are a lot of websites sharing information about this festival. Learn more about Navaratri 2008. Learn about Navaratri Significance.
