What the hype about Navaratri ?

Hemanth, Guruva Reddy

Intro

Navaratri is a Hindu festival that spans nine nights and is dedicated to the worship of the goddess Durga. The word “Navaratri” is derived from two Sanskrit words: “nava,” meaning nine, and “ratri,” meaning night. The festival typically occurs in the Hindu calendar month of Ashwin, which usually falls in September or October in the Gregorian calendar.
