Navratri Festival Photos
EditNavratri is the symbolic celebration of nine nights of the battle of the good against the evil with the result of the victory of the good on the tenth day. During this period, Mother Durga is worshipped as the deity of power, energy, and wisdom.
For nine nights, people observe the festival with utmost devotion and prayers. Each day is dedicated to one avatar of Durga Maa. Based on this, devotees have to wear the right colours on each day.
