Navratri is one of the most auspicious Hindu holidays; the nine-day festival commemorates the nine manifestations of Maa Durga. Navratri is celebrated twice a year. Once during the month of Chaitra and once during the month of Sharad. This year's Chaitra Navratri begins on April 2. The festival of Chaitra Navratri begins on the Praipadha tithi of the Chaitra month in the Shukla Paksha. On April 11, the Navami tithi will mark the completion of the nine-day event.
However, few people know it is celebrated four times a year in different seasons: Chaitra Navratri, Ashadha Navratri, Sharada Navratri, and the Paush/Magha Navratri. The Chaitra Navratri in spring is the most important of them. Chaitra Navratri, also known as Vasant Navratri, is a Hindu festival dedicated to Goddess Durga.
SIGNIFICANCE:
In Hinduism, Navratri is extremely significant. According to legend, Lord Rama initially arrived in Lanka by worshipping Goddess Durga on the beach. Maa Durga has nine various forms: Shailputri, Brahmacharini, Chandraghanta, Kushmanda, Skandmata, Katyayani, Kaalratri, Mahagauri, and Siddhidatri. Worshipping the goddess for all nine days grants the devotee's requests. And the mother's blessings always remain on her worshippers, indicating the triumph of virtue over evil.
Goddess Durga arrived on the day of Chaitra Navratri and created the cosmos at the request of Lord Brahma, according to legendary writings. To make the festival of Navratri even more special, share these beautiful quotes, blessings and messages with your friends and family:
