Navratri is being celebrated in different parts of the country at present. Many people are observing the special fast known as vrat during these nine days. Those keeping a vrat need to be extra careful about their diet when travelling. Since food options at some places may be limited, they may face difficulties in getting vrat-friendly dishes. Arun Bothra, an IPS Officer in Odisha, recently shared a heartwarming incident related to fasting while travelling by flight. The airline company has also responded to his post.

Bothra took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his experience while he was onboard an IndiGo flight recently. He was touched by a crew member's efforts to accommodate his vrat restrictions. In the caption, he explained, "Mother Divine takes care of you in different forms. Today she came as Purvi, an @IndiGo6E crew member. As I didn't take snacks due to #Navratri fasting she returned with Sabudana Chips, Til Chikki & tea. When I asked how much to pay, she said- 'No money sir. I am also fasting'."
In the photo, the three food items mentioned are seen clearly. There's also a post-it note on one of the packets that reads, "To Mr Bothra, it was a pleasure having you onboard with us today. May Navdurga bless you with abundance. From Purvi". Take a look at the post below.
IndiGo responded to Bothra, saying, "Sir, we are delighted to hear about your heartwarming experience with our team member, Purvi, during your recent flight with us. It brings joy to our hearts to learn that her thoughtful gesture enhanced your travel experience". To know more, see the posts below:
