Festivals are a significant part of the Indian culture. Every Indian festival comes with its legend, a rich history, and rituals. But every festival has one common thing; there’s a lot of Indian Mithai involved.
Read on to know about the special Indian Mithai for Navratri and Dussehra.
Dussehra is one of the most important Hindu festivals, and it is celebrated on the tenth day of Navratri. Navratri worships the power of Goddess Durga and her various forms for nine days. Dussehra, observed on the tenth day, lauds the victory of Goddess Durga over the demon Mahishasura. It also celebrates the victory of Lord Ram over the evil Ravan.
The celebrations include performances, vrat (fasting), feasts, dances, and of course, distribution of sweets. There are lots of sweets involved in the Navratri and Dasara (Dussehra) festival, and we’d like to acquaint with you some of them:
Jalebi:
Jalebi Fafda is a traditional dish had on Dussehra day. It is believed that Lord Rama loved a sweet like Jalebi, and Lord Hanuman used to make it for him. Moreover, it is believed that he used to make fafdas to go with the jalebis. Have this delicious sweet and savory combination for breakfast with your family on Dussehra day. You can find the Jalebis at our outlet close to you.
