NAVRATRI
The nine-day and nine-night festival, brings together all in the worship of the nine forms of Goddess Durga also known as Shakti /Devi. Navaratri is a festival of worship and dance for the Mother - who destroys evil.

Navratri
Navratri is a Hindu festival of worship and dance. The word Navaratri literally means nine nights in Sanskrit; Nava meaning Nine and Ratri meaning nights. During these nine nights and ten days, nine forms of Shakti/Devi i.e. the female aspect of divinity are worshipped.

Significance
The beginning of spring and the beginning of autumn are two very important junctions of climatic and solar influence. These two periods are taken as sacred opportunities for the worship of the Divine Mother. The dates of the festival are determined according to the lunar calendar.Dasaharara, meaning 'ten days', becomes dasara in popular parlance. The Navaratri festival or 'nine day festival' becomes 'ten days festival' with the addition of the last day, Vijaya-dasami which is its culmination. On all these ten days, Mother Mahisasura-mardini (Durga) is worshipped with fervour and devotion.
