Happy Navaratri 2019: The Navaratri is a festival in the Hindu Religion that lasts for 9 long nights and 10 days. It is celebrated annually during the month of September until October.
Originally, there are 4 Navaratris in one year, but the most celebrated one is the post-monsoon autumn festival called Sharada Navaratri, which is celebrated to honor Devi Durga. The festival is celebrated in the bright half of the Hindu calendar month Ashvin, which usually falls in the months of September and October.
The Durga Puja is celebrated all over India, and it is mostly celebrated in Mumbai, Delhi, southern states of India, and the northern states of India.
Celebrations for the Navaratri 2019 include recitals of stories, re-enacting stories, stage decorations, and chanting of scriptures. The 9-day celebration of Navaratri is also considered as a major crop season event in India, but this depends on the state where you’re from.
The celebration is also marked as the preparation for one of the most important and widely celebrated holidays in India, Diwali, which is the festival of lights. Diwali is celebrated 20 days after Dussehra.
