For my family (and for Prime Minister of India and the various Chief ministers), it starts tomorrow (checked with my wife just now). She will go to the market today to buy presents for the nine 'kanyas', flowers and garlands, and sweets. All non-veg. in the fridge is to be finished today and then no more for the nine days. No onion or sour things, no pickles, and no garlic which otherwise also we do not use in our cooking.
Jai Mata Ri or Ambe Mat Ri Jai (Glory to the Mother, that is how we say it in Rajasthan and Gujrat).
