During the sacred festival of Navaratri ( nav meaning 9 and ratri - nights ), many devotees prefer to fast and consume a satvik diet, mostly eating pure, natural foods that nourish both body & spirit. A much loved ingredient during Navaratri and fasting is Varai - also known as Sama rice or barnyard millet or samak ke chawal. This ancient millet is not a grain but a seed - light on stomach and easy to digest. Many health-conscious devotees go for Shabari Naturals Varai - not just for taste, but for its authentic origin. It's grown by the aadivasi farmers of Maharashtra, using traditional, sustainable paddhati (methods) that have been followed since generations. Eating this kind of clean, ethical food during vrat makes your fast feel more sacred - more real.

Choosing Shabari Varai is not just about eating right, but also doing right. When you make khichdi, kheer, or even simple varai bhat, the flavour hits different - it feels like gharcha jevan (home-cooked food). Grown without any chemicals - hand-harvested and sun-dried - this millet carries the hard work and love of the tribal communities. Every packet of Shabari Naturals Varai (barnyard Millet), you’re not just buying product - you are supporting a tradition, a culture that respects both the earth & the anna-data (one who gives you food). So, for Navratri 2025, make your vrat ( fasting ) more meaningful & go for food that feeds both body and bhaav (emotion).
