Navratri, in Hinduism, a nine-day festival held in honor of the divine feminine. As the name suggests, the festival lasts for nine nights. Navratri is dedicated to the worship of goddess Durga and her nine forms, each symbolizing different powers such as strength, wisdom, courage, devotion, and protection.
Navratri is devoted to the victory of the goddess Durga over the demon king Mahishasura (from the Sanskrit terms mahisa, “buffalo,” and asura, “demon”), which is particularly celebrated in the eastern states such as West Bengal and Assam.
During these nine days, people pray, fast, and participate in traditional music and dance. Navratri is widely celebrated by Hindus across South Asia and even in other parts of the world. This year, Navratri festivities will end on Oct. 1 with the Navami puja. After this, people will celebrate Dusshera or Vijaya Dashami on Oct. 2.
