Chaitra Navratri 2019: Why Is Haldi (Turmeric) Omitted From Vrat Foods?

Highlights

Chaitra Navratri 2019 began on Saturday, April 6th and ends on 14th

Some people don’t consume haldi or turmeric during the 9 days

Turmeric is considered Sattvic in nature but generates warmth in body

Chaitra Navratri 2019 started on April 6th, 2019 and will go on till April 14th, 2019. The nine days of the festival are when Hindu devotees of the female Goddess and her avatars observe ritual prayers and observe fasts. Chaitra Navratri marks the beginning of the Hindu Luni-solar calendar and is one of the four annual Navratris observed by people in certain regions in India. Chaitra Navratri coincides with the Marathi New Year Gudi Padwa and the Telugu New Year Ugadi. One of the most important rituals of the Navratri is the observance of fast, wherein people refrain from eating non-vegetarian food and only eat foods made from a handful of food grains and spices. Fruits and dairy products are also allowed during Navratri, but wheat flour is not. One of the spices that people generally refrain from eating during Navratri is turmeric, or haldi.

Haldi is a central spice in Indian cooking and most of our vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes feature this antioxidant-rich spice. Haldi, or turmeric, has been gaining popularity in the West as well for its numerous health benefits, which includes fighting inflammation, boosting immunity and keeping the skin healthy. But during the Navratris, a lot of people keep haldi out of their vrat (fasting) preparations. Why is the much-celebrated golden spice left out during this period of fasting? Let us break down the various beliefs and health facts about this practice.

Navratri 2019: Should Turmeric Be Kept Out Of Vrat Foods?

Chaitra Navratri is the time of fasting not just because it is a Holy time, but also because we have had a tradition of starting the lunar calendar by detoxing our bodies and cleansing it of toxins. The fasting period is claimed to have a number of health benefits. The nine days of fast are said to make your body feel lighter and prepare it for the long summer months. The foods that are added and omitted from the fasting diet have been decided according to the principles of the ancient Indian “science” of Ayurveda, which divides foods into three different categories, based on the effect they have on our bodies. The three categories of foods include – Sattvik, Rajasik and Tamasik foods.

Sattvik foods are the ones that are included in Navratri fasting meals, as these are the foods that are believed to provide the body with energy and vitality. These foods are said to be pure and clean. Rajasic and tamasic foods, on the other hand, are referred to as negative foods by Ayurveda and these foods are said to make the body feel heavy and bloated. Turmeric is a spice that is considered Sattvic in nature, but due to its bitter taste and tendency to generate warmth inside the body, it is omitted from the fasting diet. Turmeric and its use is, therefore, more popular during winters. However, it is a perfectly healthy Sattvic spice that you may include in your summer diet as well.

Consultant nutritionist, Dr. Rupali Datta, says, “You can consume haldi through summers and you must (do so), because it has anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties.” So, there you have it. If you’re on a fast during the nine days of Chaitra Navratri 2019, then you may add haldi to your diet, without worrying about any adverse impacts on your health.

Why Navratri is celebrated? Significance of all nine days of Navratri Celebration

The colorful festivals of India are an integral part of the life of its people. They are symbols of the rich cultural heritage of the diverse land of India. Each unique festival is a celebration of great significance, where India comes alive in its fascinating best. Let’s read why Navratri is celebrated?

Importance of Navratri

Navratri is the festival of nine nights, during which the Divine Mother, the goddess of ‘shakti’, Durga, is worshipped in her nine forms and manifestations.

Navratri festival is observed twice a year, once in the month of Chaitra which coincides with the months of March – April and then again in Ashwin (Sharad), which is the equivalents of September – October.

During these nine days of Navratri, people take part in special ceremonies, rituals, fasting, and festivities. Gujaratis wear colorful costumes and perform ‘Garba Rass’, a special type of dance that is performed vigorously around an earthen lamp or circling the images of the Divine Mother.

The fast is broken on either Ashtami – the eighth day, or Navami – the ninth day, by serving food and praying before little girls who are seen as a form of the Goddess.

Sharad Navratri is also known by the name of Ashwin Navratri. Sharad Navratri 2019 in India will start on 29th September, Sunday and will end on 7th October, Monday.

Goddess Durga has nine structures, and all are loved amid Navratri by devoting every day to one ‘symbol’ or incarnation. Every Goddess is illustrative of a specific ideal.

Before reading the significance of all nine days, let’s read tips for Navratri fasting.

People look for Navratri fast recipes but these 9 tips are more important for consumption of food for Navratri fasting.

9 Tips for 9 Days of Fasting – Food for Navratri Fasting

Instead of eating once a day during fast, take at least 4 – 5 falahari small meals so as to maintain your energy level and glucose level.

Fruits make up the largest arc of your food rainbow. Eat plenty of fresh fruits of the season. Fruits will not only provide you energy but also fiber and vitamins. Remember more fibre gives you better digestion.

Most of the Navratri recipes for nine days of fasting are deep fried with lots of oil and fats. So instead of frying, you can try baked or roasted recipes.

Along with food items rich in carbohydrates, try to include fibrous vegetables such as cabbage, capsicum, etc. Remember to drink water regularly.

Is fasting healthy?

Chaulai (Amaranth) is a good source of protein and you can include it in your fasting menu. You can prepare its pudding (kheer) by cooking it in milk or you can also make puris or paranthas with it.

Include kuttu ka atta (buckwheat flour) in your diet. It contains 70 % to 75 % of carbohydrates and 20 % to 25 % of protein. It maintains cholesterol levels and also manages diabetes as it is low in glucose.

If you are health conscious, try to avoid fasting snacks available in the market. It will be advisable to include roasted makhana (Foxnuts), which is high in fiber and low in calories or roasted peanuts or dry fruits in your snacks menu.

Samak Chawal (fasting rice) is a very good option for fasting food. It is not a cereal but a fruit. It is easily digested. You can cook rice as a pulao or you can also make its kheer with milk.

If you are a sweets lover, save room for dessert. You can eat fruits, sweet curd, dates, apple pudding or Samak rice kheer as a dessert. Dessert is probably the most important stage of the meal you will remember during your fasting day.

During these nine holy days, Hindu goddess Shakti (power) is worshipped and prayers are offered to her. It is believed that nine different avatars of the goddess are worshipped during these nine days. The celebrations also mark the start of the Hindu New Year as per the Luni-solar calendar, and people in Maharastra celebrate it as Gudi Padwa, while Kashmiri Hindus observe it as Navreh.

The festival is also celebrated in southern states like Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka as Ugadi. The nine-day festival, which is also known as Rama Navratri, ends on Rama Navami, Lord Ram’s birthday. During Chaitra Navratri people also fast and worship the Goddess Durga. They also perform Ghatasthapana, the invocation of goddess Shakti, which is a significant ritual followed during the period. Navratri also celebrates calmness and peacefulness in the form of Maha Gauri Mata.
