Highlights

  • India is all set to celebrate Ram Navami on March 30, 2023.
  • On this day, people also organise Kanjak pujan at home.
  • Halwa, poori and kale chane holds a firm position in the bhog thali.

We just love how bright and cheerful festivals are. While the surge in Covid cases has been a concern across India, the ongoing festivals are keeping us positive and optimistic. We are all set to celebrate Ram Navami on March 30, 2023. This day is celebrated to mark the birth of Lord Rama. It also culminates the nine-day fasting period of the Chaitra Navratri. Besides offering prayers to the ninth Avatar of Goddess Durga (Devi Siddhidatri), devotees organise recitals (Akhand Paath) of Ramacharitamanas at home, followed by aarti and kanjak pujan.

Alongside all these rituals, devotees prepare bhog for their deity and also to offer to the kanjaks (young girls). The bhog spread for the kanjaks include fruits, gifts, ladoos and much more. But what remain common every year are the classic halwa, poori and chane. This combination has always been a show-stealer during the festivities.

However, having Kanjak Pujan on a large scale is a distant dream for us in this current situation. Instead, we will prepare bhog at home and celebrate the day with family and close ones.

If you too are planning to prepare bhog for Ram Navami at home, we have got the classic sooji halwa, poori and sookhe kale chane recipes for you. Let's take a look.
