Sai Ram Dear Brothers & Sisters,

I have read about the ' Navratree' and I see the Durga Puja in a clearer
perspective. However, I would like to know from anyone who can explain
whether it is also true to say that the nine Divine Nights represent also
the 9 'figures' or 'Roop ' of Durga Maa. Also I would like to get more
informaiton about restrictions on the food that we are allowed to consume
during this fasting period. To what I have been told, it is that even among
the vegetables, we are not supposed to take certain things like' baigan' or
pumpkin.. if this is so is there any reason for it?

Thank you for clearing my doubts
