It’s the Hindu month of Ashwin and Sharda Navratri is around the corner. Goddess Durga is finally coming to bestow her blessings on her devotees. The festival of Navratri symbolizes good triumphing over evil and hence this festival holds utmost importance. Sharda Navratri is a nine-day-long festival and is celebrated with much fervor, enthusiasm and happiness, where the nine avatars of Goddess Durga are worshipped on each one of these nine days.
This year, the festival will start on 7 October and will go on till 15 October.
Goddess Durga fought against the demon king Mahishasur in a 15-day long battle and slayed him with his Trishul on the final day, thereby freeing the land of all evil. On Vijayadashami or Dussehra, the final day of the festival, it is said that Goddess Durga leaves the Earth and returns to heaven.
Navratri is celebrated twice a year in India. The first celebrations fall during the spring season and are known as Chaitra Navaratri. It takes place in the month of March-April. The second Navratri is celebrated in Autumn and is known as Sharda Navratri.
This year, according to the Hindu calendar, Shardiya Navratri will begin on October 7, 2021, and end on October 15, 2021. The final three days — Ashtami, Navami, and Dashami — will begin with Ashtami falling on October 13. This is followed by Navami on October 14 and Dashami on October 15.
