The worshipers keep fast for the entire nine days. Only during fasting do you eat 'satvik' food like potatoes, poultry flour, curd and fruits. During this time, the consumption of non-vegetarian food and the consumption of onion and garlic should be avoided. Devotees spend their days worshiping the Goddess and chanting Navaratri mantras.
