Hi, all friends
NAVRATRI
'Nav' means 'nine' and 'ratri' means 'night', thus, 'Navratri' means 'nine nights'. There
are many legends attached to the conception of Navratri like all Indian festivals but
all of them are related to Goddess Shakti (Hindu Mother Goddess) and her various
forms. Though it is one of the most celebrated festivals of Hindu calendar, it holds
special significance for Gujratis and Bengalis and one can see it in the zeal and fervor
of the people with which they indulge in the festive activities of the season.
Thanking
