Navratri is a festival that is celebrated across India with great enthusiasm and fervor. It is a nine-night festival that is dedicated to the worship of Goddess Durga, who is considered as the embodiment of power and strength. Navratri is celebrated five times in a year, but the most prominent one is Sharad Navratri, which falls in the month of Ashwin (September-October).

The word Navratri means “nine nights,” and during this festival, devotees worship nine forms of Goddess Durga, namely, Shailputri, Brahmacharini, Chandraghanta, Kushmanda, Skandmata, Katyayani, Kaalratri, Mahagauri, and Siddhidatri. Each day of Navratri is dedicated to a particular form of the Goddess.

During Navratri, people observe fasts, perform puja, and participate in cultural festivities. Garba and Dandiya Raas are the two most popular dances performed during Navratri. Garba is a circular dance that is performed by men and women in traditional attire, while Dandiya Raas involves the use of wooden sticks by both men and women.

Sharad Navratri is also considered as a time for new beginnings. Many people start new ventures, purchase new assets, and make important life decisions during this time. It is believed that Goddess Durga blesses her devotees with prosperity and success during Navratri.

The tenth day of Navratri is known as Vijayadashmi or Dussehra, which marks the victory of good over evil. On this day, effigies of the demon king Ravana are burnt in many parts of India, signifying the victory of Lord Rama over Ravana.

In conclusion, Navratri is a festival that celebrates the power of Goddess Durga and the victory of good over evil. It is a time for worship, fasting, dance, and new beginnings. Navratri brings with it positivity, prosperity, and a sense of community among people. May everyone have a happy and blessed Navratri!
