Hey Paramba! Please do the Welfare of the entire world. The navratri is considered to be the best period of the goddess of primal power. There are four navratra in Savantsar (year). Nine days from Pratipada to Navami of Shukla Paksha of Chaitra, Ashadh, Ashwin and Magh months are called navratri. Of these four navratri’s, two are gupt navratri’s and two are prakat, the festival of Chaitra is Vasantik and the festival of Ashwin is Shardiya.

In the precious and divine book of world literature ‘Soundarya Lahari’ written by Aadi Shankracharya, Lord Shiva explain to Maa Parvati about navratri as follows :- ‘नवशक्ति भिः संयुक्तम् नवरात्रंतदुच्यते। एकैवदेव देवेशि नवधा परितिष्ठता’’।।. That is, the navratri is united with nine powers. There is a tradition of worshiping one Shakti every day during the nine days of Navratri. The nine arts (personifications) of Adi Shakti, who is said to be the conductor of the universe, are called Nav Durga.

Navratri Sthapana, which translates to “establishment of nine nights”, symbolizes the nine principled worship of Goddess Durga, also known as Navadurga. These forms represent different positions of the divine feminine energy including power, compassion, wisdom and strength. It symbolizes the victory of Goddess Durga over the demon Mahishasura, symbolizing victory over evil.

This festival falls in the Hindu month of Ashwin, which corresponds to September–October in the Gregorian calendar. It is a unique time when devotees come together to celebrate and seek blessings from the Goddess. This year, Navratri sthapna will start from 15th October and end on 23rd October.

Ghat Sthapana: The celebration begins with holy water and is decorated with mango leaves and coconuts. It symbolizes the presence of the Goddess in the house.

Prayers and Fasting: Devotees fast during these days to seek the blessings of the Goddess and engage in prayers and meditation.

Dandiya and Garba: In many areas people come together in the evening for traditional folk dances like Dandiya and Garba. These energetic dances symbolize the joyous spirit of Navratri.

Kanya Puja (worship of young girls): On Navratri, young girls are worshiped as goddesses. This ritual symbolizes the divine feminine energy.

Navratri, a nine-night Hindu festival dedicated to the worship of the divine feminine power, has great spiritual significance for millions of devotees around the world.
