Navratri is a nine-day festival during which nine forms of the goddess Durga are worshiped. The festival also has nine colors, which are believed to represent the nine planets, and nine nights, during which nine different forms of the goddess are worshiped. It's celebrated by Hindus all over India and abroad.

It is the most important festival of the Hindu religion and is celebrated all over India by Hindus. The nine-day long festival starts from Dhanteras and ends on Chaitra Purnima. During this period, Goddess Shakti is worshiped for getting rid of evil spirits and bad luck. This festival is also known as “Durga Puja” or “Shakthi puja”. The main deity of this festival is Devi Durga. She is considered the supreme power of the universe. Her name means ‘the destroyer’. She is also called Mahishasurmardini (Mahishademon king; mardini destroyer).

The celebration of this festival has been started since ancient times. According to Hindu mythology, Lord Shiva was pleased with his wife Parvati when she gave birth to a son named Kartikeya. He blessed her that she would have a child who would be very powerful and would defeat demons. After some time, Parvati conceived again and gave birth to another son. When he was born, she realized that this baby boy was not like other babies. His face had no human features but resembled those of an animal. So, she named him Skanda. Later on, she got pregnant for the third time and gave birth to a girl. She named her daughter Shitala. Both these children were very strong and they defeated many demon kings. They are worshiped as the deities of war and victory respectively.
