In other words, these are the dos and don'ts of Navratri
Navratri is one of the biggest festivals for Hindus around the world. This is the time it is believed that Goddess Durga enters their homes in different avatars.
Goddess Durga is also known as Maa Kali and she represents women empowerment, power and truth.
During this time, there are certain dos and don'ts that need to be followed during the 9 days of the festival.

Avoid Haircut!
It is believed that getting a haircut during this season is considered to be bad, as it is considered a bad omen, so getting one's hair cut or doing a shave during Navratri is a not a good option.
Kalash
During this season, people go to any extent to keep their Goddess happy. One of the rituals is to keep a Kalash at home. Apart from this, one needs to light an akhand jyot that burns all day/night. Ensure it does not turn off. Another thing that you need to do is to ensure that your house is not kept empty during this period. A person should be in the house all the time.
