It's that time of year again when Durga the goddess idols are decorated with kumkum, bangles, blooms, and glittering apparel. The aroma of pure butter or desi ghee delicacies permeates the area. 

Navratri, one of the most important Hindu festivals, is celebrated twice a year with considerable fanfare throughout the country. Devotees spend nine days worshipping Goddess Durga's various forms.

The term 'Navratri' refers to the nine fortunate nights throughout which the Goddess Durga is worshipped and most people fast.
