Hindu festival of Navaratri Begins

Navaratri Begins

Navaratri is a nine-night festival dedicated to the worship of Goddess Durga and her various forms. It is celebrated with different traditions across India, including Golu displays in Tamil Nadu. The festival is divided into three phases, honouring Durga (strength), Lakshmi (wealth), and Saraswati (knowledge). Rituals include prayers, fasting, music, and dance forms like Garba and Dandiya. The significance of Navaratri lies in its representation of the victory of good over evil.
