Sharad Navratri: A Nine-Night Extravaganza

Our October festivities begin with Sharad Navratri, a nine-night festival dedicated to Goddess Durga. The word "Navratri" literally means 'nine nights,' and during this period, devotees across India celebrate the divine feminine in all her forms. The air is filled with devotion, and people engage in prayer, fasting, and vibrant cultural events. The "Garba" and "Dandiya" dances are a highlight of this festival, where people come together to dance the night away in colorful traditional attire – “Chaniya-Choli”.

Durga Maha Navami Puja: The Ninth Day of Navratri

The ninth day of Navratri, known as Durga Maha Navami Puja, is a day to honor the fierce and compassionate Goddess Durga. Devotees offer special prayers and seek her blessings for strength and protection. The elaborate rituals and ceremonies conducted on this day make it a significant event during Navratri.

Dussehra: Victory of Good Over Evil

The grand climax of Sharad Navratri is Dussehra, celebrated with immense enthusiasm all over India. This festival commemorates the victory of Lord Rama over the demon king Ravana, symbolizing the Victory of Good Over Evil. Models of Ravana are burned in open grounds, and grand processions with beautifully decorated idols of Lord Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana fill the streets. Dussehra is a time when communities come together, and the air is filled with an electric atmosphere.
