Traditional sacred checklist of essentials recommended for performing Day 3 Puja with purity and devotion.
NOTE: Puja Samagri may vary according to regional, family, and spiritual traditions. Follow the guidance of your Acharya where applicable.
Traditional references commonly associate Maa Chandraghanta worship with milk-based and sattvic offerings, including Kheer. Fruits and other simple Naivedya may also be offered according to family and regional customs.
For Sharadiya Navratri 2026, Day 3 is listed as Red in location-specific Drik Panchang calendars. Devotees may wear Red or include the colour in their festive worship and Puja setting.
Devotees observing Navratri Vrat may continue their fasting practice on Day 3. The foods permitted during a Navratri fast vary between households and regions, so there is no need to present one universal fasting menu. Follow your family's customary Vrat rules or the guidance of your Guru/Acharya.
Dedicate your fasting with deep mental focus & pure intentions.
Consume clean fruits, milk & satvik fasting foods with moderation.
Spend quiet hours in continuous Japa & inner reflection.
Sharadiya Navratri is an important period for Devi worship, prayer and spiritual observance. Devotees who wish to arrange a traditional Puja at Maa Baglamukhi Siddha Peeth in Nalkheda can enquire about the Navratri Puja options available during this period.
