Mumbai: Navratri is one of the most auspicious Hindu festivals, celebrated with devotion and rituals across India. Along with Kalash Sthapana (Kalash installation), devotees also sow jaware (barley shoots) at the start of Navratri. These green shoots are considered the sacred prasad of Goddess Durga.

For nine days, the jaware are nurtured with care, symbolising prosperity and blessings. On the final day – either Navami or Dashami – these shoots are respectfully immersed or placed at a sacred spot. But many devotees also wonder: What should be done with the jaware after Navratri ends? Let’s explore the traditions and significance.
