RamaNavami is celebrated on a grand scale in North India.The build-up to this begins on Ugadi as they consider those 9 days as basant navaraatri.Women fast and worship young girls(they see in them goddess durga )by washing their feet and giving them gifts.
Girls skip around chirping joyfully as (atleast)these days they are treated royally!!
Gr8 info Neela. Thanks.
I have a few friends who keep fast on these 9 days, and nine days during Navaratri too.
One in April and another in October, they say when in the cycle of seasons, there is a change in weather, at that twi-hour, if we keep fast, it helps cleaning the digestive system too. Religious fundas are never meant to be understood???
Also, worshipping young girls is a practice that is followed across the country. Its very common among those who worship God in the faminine spirit. These small girls are called as Kanya Muttaides.
