Navratri

Navaratri (nine nights) is one of the greatest Hindu festivals. It symbolises the triumph of good over evil. Navratri takes place at the beginning of October around harvest time and, as the name implies, this festival is celebrated for nine days. Navratri is also known as Durga Puja.

The tenth day of the festival is called Dasera, and marks the triumph of good over evil, and also the motherhood of God.
