Actress Avika Gor Reminisces Cherished Navratri Traditions

As the Navratri festival approaches, actress Avika Gor reflects on her most vibrant childhood memories of the celebrations. Gor recalls attending a massive Navratri event in Kolkata last year that had nearly 30,000 people in attendance. She describes the electric energy of the crowd doing garba together while the puja was happening, creating a "beautiful atmosphere" that left an indelible mark on her.

Another of Gor's fondest Navratri memories is attending Falguni Pathak's live performances. The actress says she used to hear a lot about Pathak's shows as a child and later even had the opportunity to be on stage with the singer as a guest, an experience she cherishes.

Gor also expresses her deep appreciation for the way Gujaratis celebrate Navratri, from savoring authentic festive cuisine and fasting in unique ways to performing pujas and dressing up every evening. This cultural immersion is what makes Gor eagerly anticipate the festival each year.
