Navratri 2026: Avoid These 6 Things to Prevent Financial Loss, Displeasing Goddess Lakshmi

• Chaitra Navratri 2026 will be celebrated from March 19 to March 27, focusing on Adishakti worship and self-purification.
• Avoid Tamasic foods like onion, garlic, meat, and alcohol during Navratri to maintain a Sattvic atmosphere and prevent negative thoughts.
• Refrain from cutting hair, shaving, or trimming nails, especially if you have performed Ghatasthapana or lit an Akhand Deep, as it's considered inauspicious.
• Do not use leather items during worship or fasting, as leather is considered impure; opt for cotton or silk garments instead.
• Ensure the Akhand Deep burns continuously for all nine days; its extinguishing is highly inauspicious and breaks the vow. Avoid harsh speech, arguments, and lying, as Goddess Lakshmi does not reside in conflict-ridden homes. Also, avoid sleeping during the day while fasting to maintain spiritual energy.
