Navaratri Mahotsava

Nine nights of divinity

'Navaratri' means the 'Nine Nights'. 'Nava' means 'Nine', and 'Ratri' means 'Night'. As every night we turn inward (we sleep) and we feel rested and rejuvenated next morning, in the same way Navaratri is a period for self-referral and getting back to the Source. Navaratri celebrations are marked by a series of pujas, Yagnas and Homas, which have a special significance in removing all the miseries, sorrows and pains; bestowing peace, prosperity and joy.

Each day is dedicated to different aspects of Mother Divine; to a Devi, also known as NavaDurga.
