The devotees can eat once the kanyas have finished eating. Traditional Ashtami Prasad, which include puri, chana and halwa, is offered to Goddess Durga and then to all the girls. Red dupatta (mata ki chunari) is offered to the kanyas. Navratri is also celebrated as Durga Puja in the eastern parts for India, especially in West Bengal. If you cannot find nine kanyas for the puja, try to invite as many girl children as possible. It is believed the more kanyas you invite, the more boons you get.
