We live in a nation where the cultures and traditions are highly diversified. One such traditional festival is Navratri. Navratri also spelled as Navarathri, is a nine nights and ten days Hindu festival, celebrated in the autumn every year. It is observed for different reasons and celebrated differently in various parts of the Indian subcontinent. However, in practice, it is the post-monsoon autumn festival that is the most observed in the honour of the divine feminine Devi also known as Durga.
Celebration throughout India is different, however, the theme is common. It is the battle and victory of Good over Evil based on a regionally famous epic or legend such as the Ramayana or the Devi Mahatmya. In the eastern and northeastern states of India, the Durga Puja is synonymous with Navratri, wherein goddess Durga battles and emerges victorious over the buffalo demon to help restore Dharma. In the northern and western states, the festival is synonymous with "Rama Lila" and Dussehra that celebrates the battle and victory of god Rama over the demon king Ravana. In southern states, the victory of different goddesses, of Rama or Saraswati is celebrated.
Celebrations include stage decorations, recital of the legend, enacting of the story and dances. The famous Gujarati dance, Garba is performed mainly in Gujarat and across India. On the final day, called Dussehra, the statues are either immersed in a water body such as river and ocean, or alternatively the statue symbolising the evil is burnt with fireworks marking evil's destruction. The festival also starts the preparation for one of the most important and widely celebrated holidays, Diwali, the festival of lights, which is celebrated twenty days after the Dussehra.
