A common ritual conducted during Navratri is inviting little girls home and seeking their blessings, talking about this ritual, Saloni shared, "This festival revolves around the worship of the nine goddesses, and it's a common practice to invite young girls to receive blessings. I believe this is significant, and I have also followed this tradition since childhood."

After our Garba sessions, my friends and I make it a tradition to savour sweets like jalebi and fafda." The actress shared some special memories she has of the festival from her childhood, "One particular memory that stands out is when I custom-designed my outfit for a best-dressed competition. Although I didn't win, it was a memorable experience. Another memory is when I fell ill but managed to attend Garba towards the end." (ANI)
