NAVARATHIRI...नवरात्रि)








A Hindu festival of worship. The word Navaratri literally means nine nights in Sanskrit; Nava meaning Nine and Ratri meaning nights. During these nine nights and ten days, nine forms of Shakti are worshipped.


First three days


The goddess is invoked as a spiritual force called Durga also known as kali in order to destroy all our impurities, vices and defects.




Second three days


The Mother is adored as a giver of spiritual wealth, Lakshmi, who is considered to have the power of bestowing on her devotees inexhaustible wealth. She is the goddess of wealth.


Final three days


The final set of three days is spent in worshipping the goddess of wisdom, Saraswati. In order to have all-round success in life, believers seek the blessings of all three aspects of the divine femininity, hence the nine nights of worship.
