Plan ahead

Keep the walkway clear and arrange a stable seat for anyone who needs one. Separate flowers from food preparation and wash fruit close to serving. Decide who will lead the activity, supervise children and tidy up afterwards.

Common questions

How can an elder join without standing for a long time?

Offer a stable chair outside the flame area and invite seated prayer, storytelling or choosing flowers. Ask what feels comfortable rather than assigning a physical task.

Do I need a new decoration for every Navratri day?

No. Clean reusable items, replace wilted flowers where appropriate and make one small adjustment if you wish. Reusing a safe arrangement keeps preparation manageable.
