If you are observing fast and have to travel during 'Navrati', you need not worry about your food requirement because Indian Railways' catering wing IRCTC will take care of your needs and provide ‘vrat ka khana’ during your journey. The facility has been provided as a part of IRCTC's e-catering menu during the Navratri festival, which started on Wednesday.
 
The IRCTC is said to have come up with this service keeping in mind the ritualistic fast observed by many during the festival. This facility has been introduced for such passengers from October 10, 2018, and the menu comprises satvik diet like sabudana, sendha namak, kuttu ka atta, and certain vegetables.
