There are celebrations everywhere in temples, mainly in those which are devoted to Goddess Durga. People so regular pooja on these days.
Most of the Hindus prohibit from taking non veg on these days. Even if ypu have no knowledge of the festival, everyone knows that they should not eat chicken, mutton or take alcohol.
18th March 2018 to 26th March 2018 marks the holy 9 days. Hindus refrain from taking these two items. That is what it means for a simple guy like me. What does it mean to you? Please let me know your views.
