Navratri is a popular festival celebrated with great pomp across India. Although Navratri occurs four times a year, two of these - Chaitra Navratri (around March-April) and Sharad Navratri (around September-October) - hold special significance.
Chaitra Navratri and Sharad Navratri are the most widely celebrated. Each of the nine days is dedicated to a different form of Goddess Durga, and devotees worship her with unwavering devotion.
