Chaitra Navratri, the nine-day journey of devotion and spiritual renewal, also marks the beginning of the Hindu calendar (Vikram Samvat 2083). Starting from the 19th of March and culminating on the 27th of March, many devotees observe a fast to purify their body and mind by abstaining from certain grains, alcohol, non-vegetarian food, and other ingredients like onion and garlic. 

But that does not mean that you cannot go out to grab a bite, especially not in the Tricity. With more North Indian restaurants celebrating Navratri, they curate a satvik menu, and adhering to the restrictions, you can still enjoy a gourmet meal. Here are some of the best restaurants in Chandigarh that are offering a vrat vali thali for Chaitra Navratri 2026, and they’re simply worth trying!
