Answer 2

Barley is used in Durga Puja​ because:

• Barley planted at this festival is seen to be a good omen, and the quality and length of the shoots are said to predict how much money and success the family will have in the future year.
• On the first day of Navratri, many people sow barley, as barley was the first crop following the beginning of existence, hence barley is sacrificed in the havan whenever goddesses are worshipped. It is thought that the barley that is cultivated during Navratri foreshadows some future events.
• The fundamental reason for this is that barley is revered as Brahma, and we must treat it with care.
• It is stated that if seeded barley sprouts do not develop in two to three days, it is a bad omen for you in the future, and you will only acquire the fruit after a lot of effort.
