If you feel dizzy after fasting on Navratri, it’s usually because of low blood sugar, dehydration, or sudden weakness. The first step is to sit or lie down immediately to avoid fainting or injury. Drink water, coconut water, or lemon water with a pinch of salt and sugar to rehydrate and balance electrolytes. If permitted in your fast, eat a small portion of fruits, dates, or a handful of nuts for instant energy. Avoid standing under the sun or overexerting yourself. If dizziness persists, consult a doctor, as prolonged weakness may signal low blood pressure or other concerns.

On Navratri Day 4, Maa Kushmanda is worshipped as the goddess who created the universe with her radiant smile. The traditional bhog offered to her is malpua, a sweet delicacy made of flour, milk, and sugar, often deep-fried and served with cardamom or fennel flavor. Devotees also prepare halwa, curd, and fruits, which are offered during the puja. After the rituals, this bhog is distributed as prasadam to family members and devotees, believed to bring health, prosperity, and strength.
