Ashtmi Prasad

'Ashtmi/ Ashtami' is the 8th day of Navratra (9 sacred days of Goddess Durga). After fasting for 7 preceeding days, we break our fasts after morning puja and prasad offered to Goddess Durga. The prasad includes Halwa, Poori, Chana and nariyal (coconut). On this day, we worship little girls as 'Kanjak' (As little incarnations of Goddess Parvati) and offer them prasad.
Some people celebrate 'Navmi' (last day of Navratra).
