Navratri: Origins, Myth, Rituals and Contemporary Significance
Navratri, the nine-night Hindu festival, celebrates the Divine Feminine (Shakti) through vibrant rituals, worship, and community festivities. Rooted in the Devi Mahatmyam, it honors Goddess Durga’s triumph over Mahishasura, symbolizing good prevailing over evil. Each day reveres a unique Navadurga form, from Shailaputri (strength) to Siddhidatri (spiritual fulfillment). From Gujarat’s rhythmic Garba and Dandiya dances to Bengal’s ornate Durga Puja pandals, North India’s dramatic Ramlila, and South India’s artistic Bommai Golu, Navratri unites diverse traditions. Rituals like fasting, Kalash Sthapana, and Kanya Puja foster spiritual and social connections.
