Do you remember the time of the year when you got to eat chane, puri and halwa? Of course, you do! A majority of us associate Kanjake, celebrated on the eighth or ninth day of the Navratras, with the special delicacies that our mothers prepared early in the morning. On this day, Hindu families pray before the girls, who are considered as avatars of the Goddess Durga, and feed them. It is also the day when the Navratra fasting ends. A lot of us girls have been kanjaks as kids, and it used to make us feel like little celebrities! From getting ready to being pampered, here are 10 things about the day that we still remember fondly:

3. We realized the perks of being a girl!

As kids, there were a lot of things our brothers did that we were asked not to. However, on this day, we were given more importance, and who doesn't like attention!

4. It gave us another reason to deck up!

I remember getting super excited as a 6-year-old and putting on the only pair of lehenga choli that I owned at that time.
Now that we think of it, wasn't it cute to see little girls competing among themselves to be the best-dressed kanjak?
