She shared that she watered the sprouts lightly twice a day during the daily Aarti and expressed her joy at seeing healthy green shoots on the ninth day of the festival. “Apart from fasting until Ashtami, I decided to grow ‘khetri’ in my house… I feel the happiest now looking at the healthy green sprouts on day 9. Jai Mata Di,” she wrote.
Her pictures also showcased her enjoying festive food, performing the traditional Pooja, and playing Garba with family.
