Navratri is one of the most sacred festivals in Hindu culture, symbolizing devotion, purification, and divine blessings. During these nine auspicious days, acts of seva (selfless service) hold special importance. One such ancient and spiritually powerful practice is offering jaggery (gud) to cows. This simple act is believed to bring peace, prosperity, and relief from planetary doshas, especially those related to Shani (Saturn) and Surya (Sun).
