Navratri, a Hindu festival celebrated four times a year, involves many sacred rituals, with the sowing of 'Navdhanya' or the nine types of grains being a central practice. This act is not merely agricultural but deeply symbolic, representing fertility, prosperity, and the cosmic order of the nine planets.

According to ancient Hindu scriptures, the concept of Navadhanyam—or the nine sacred grains—has been central to rituals and traditions for millennia. These grains are believed to represent the nine celestial bodies, or Navagraha, influencing life on Earth.
