Navratri, a Hindu festival, translates to "nine nights" in Sanskrit. It's celebrated over nine nights and ten days, marking the triumph of good over evil. Each night is dedicated to the worship of different forms of the Goddess Durga, who symbolizes divine feminine energy, strength, and power.
During Navratri, devotees observe fasting, perform prayers, and participate in various cultural activities like traditional dances (such as Garba and Dandiya) to honor the Goddess and seek her blessings for prosperity, happiness, and success. The festival typically falls in the Hindu lunar month of Ashvin, which usually corresponds to September or October in the Gregorian calendar. It's celebrated with great enthusiasm and fervor across India and by the Indian diaspora worldwide.
