Traditionally, every year, Navratri is celebrated at the beginning of autumn, when everything in nature starts undergoing a transformation. It is celebrated to glorify the spirit within us – which can alone destroy negative qualities (inertia, pride, obsession, cravings, aversions, etc).
In India, Navratri is observed in many ways. From Gujarat to West Bengal, the nation erupts in revelry, which is steeped in deep cultural, traditional, and spiritual meaning. Mother Divine and her many forms are worshipped throughout the country. The celebrations include not just prayers, chanting, and meditation, but people also enjoy dancing, singing, relish delicious food items (and prasadam). Different states flaunt their festive attire during Navratri. There is significance to every little thing related to Navratri.
