Bhog, prasad, or naivedya is the food offering to Gods and
Goddesses in Hinduism. The fifth day Navratri bhog is offered to Goddess Skanda Mata. The food that is offered on day five of Navratri should be banana or a
food prepared using banana.
If the food is prepared using banana then the person
offering the bhog will get blessed with good wisdom by Maa Skandamata.
Donating banana to poor people on the day is considered
highly virtuous.
