Chaitra Navratri 2025 Vrat Recipes: Celebrate Day 5 of Chaitra Navratri with these three easy breakfast, lunch, and snacks recipes.
Day 5 of Chaitra Navratri 2025 is dedicated to Goddess Skandamata.
Chaitra Navratri 2025 Vrat Recipes: April 3 marks Day 5 of Chaitra Navratri 2025. The fifth day is dedicated to Goddess Skandamata, the fifth form of Maa Durga. She is worshipped as the mother of Lord Kartikeya (Skanda), the warrior god. Depicted riding a lion and holding her child in her lap, Skandamata is a symbol of maternal love, courage, and wisdom. It is believed that worshipping her on this day brings prosperity, peace, and success. It is also mentioned that she bestows her devotees with immense knowledge and strength to overcome challenges. The colour associated with Day 5 of Chaitra Navratri is yellow, which represents happiness, positivity, and energy.
As fasting continues, it’s important to maintain energy levels with nutritious vrat-friendly foods. Instead of deep-fried snacks, opt for protein-rich ingredients that can help you sustain strength throughout the day. On Day 5 of Chaitra Navratri, we have curated an easy breakfast, lunch, and snack recipe that will help you observe your fast without feeling weak or fatigued, while staying spiritually connected.
