If you want to take a pledge to observe Navratri fast, then keep in mind that during this time do not even drink water from someone else's house, let alone food. Eat only home-cooked food during this time. If for some reason you are unable to cook food at home, you can buy and eat it from outside, but take special care of purity.
Take special care of purity during the 9 days of Navratri fast. That is, observe celibacy completely, not only physically but also mentally. Alcohol and meat etc. should not be brought into the house at all. If possible, sleep on a mat on the floor during the fast.
Do not wear black clothes during Navratri fast as this color is a symbol of negativity. Black clothes should not be worn during auspicious work. Red, yellow or green clothes should be worn during Navratri. Do not wear black clothes even by mistake.
Do not get angry with anyone during Navratri fast and do not insult anyone. Getting angry causes mental violence, which should not happen during a fast. If a person does something that makes you angry, forgive him immediately. This is also a rule of fasting.
