 Navratri Vrat Parana 2024: Today marks the celebration of Vijayadashami, a festival associated with the victories of Goddess Durga and Lord Rama. According to tradition, the goddess fought valiantly against the demon Mahishasura for nine days and ultimately defeated him on the tenth day, known as Dussehra.

Similarly, Vijayadashami commemorates Lord Rama's triumph over Ravana. Devotees who observe a fast during the Shardiya Navratri for nine days break their fast on this auspicious day.

Let's take a look at the auspicious timing for breaking the Navratri fast and the important guidelines to follow:

Navratri Vrat Parana 2024 Muhurat:

The Navratri Vrat Parana occurs after the conclusion of the Navami Tithi. This year, the Navami Tithi ended at 10:58 AM on the day of Ashwin's bright fortnight. Before breaking the fast, it's essential to be mindful of certain rules, as one mistake can render the entire fast fruitless.

How To Perform Navratri Vrat Parana:

To properly perform the Vrat Parana, worship Goddess Durga with rituals, offer prayers, seek forgiveness, and make donations. After that, partake in the prasad (offering) before breaking the fast. It is crucial not to consume tamasic food when ending the fast, as doing so could nullify the benefits of the entire fast.

Rules For Navratri Vrat Parana:

• Individuals who have fasted for nine days should break their fast only after the Navratri havan (ritual offering of fire). Failing to do so renders the worship incomplete, and the full benefits of the fast may not be achieved.
• The most suitable time for breaking the fast is after the conclusion of the Navami Tithi, when the Dashami Tithi is in effect.
• When breaking the Navratri fast, consume light and vegetarian food only.
