Amla Navmi, celebrated on the ninth day of the bright half of Phalguna (February-March), is a special occasion dedicated to the worship of the amla tree, a revered symbol of health, longevity, and prosperity.
Amla, or Indian gooseberry, is considered a superfood due to its rich nutritional profile, especially its high vitamin C content, antioxidants, and healing properties.
In Hinduism, the amla tree is sacred, believed to be the abode of Goddess Lakshmi (goddess of wealth) and Lord Vishnu.
On Amla Navmi, devotees perform rituals to honor the tree, offering prayers, fruits, and flowers.
It’s believed that worshipping the amla tree on this day brings blessings of good health, immunity, and spiritual well-being.
The health benefits of amla are vast, including boosting immunity, improving digestion, promoting healthy skin and hair, and supporting heart health.
Amla Navmi serves as a reminder of the powerful healing properties of this fruit, encouraging people to include it in their diet for a healthier, more prosperous life.
