Navratri 2025 Bhog List: Shardiya Navratri is one of the most significant and extensively observed Hindu festivals honouring Maa Durga. Beginning on September 22, 2025, Shardiya Navratri will be celebrated for nine days with a great deal of fervour and devotion. Devotees worship Maa Durga, also known as Navadurga, with various rituals, colours and offerings on each of the days of Navratri, which are all devoted to one form or avatar of the goddess. Offering bhog (prasad) to the Goddess is one of the most significant parts of the Navratri festivities. Offering each avatar the appropriate food, or prasad, is thought to bestow blessings, wealth, health, and happiness on the followers.

Each form of Maa Durga is associated with a unique energy and significance, and the bhog offered is symbolic of pleasing that particular form. Devotees prepare these bhogs with purity and love, later distributing them as prasad among family, friends, and community. Let’s take a look at the day-wise bhog list of all nine avatars of Maa Durga during Shardiya Navratri 2025.
