Navratri Vrat Katha with Pictures / नवरात्री व्रत कथा प

The nine-night Hindu festival of Navaratri is observed each year in the autumn. In various regions of the Indian subcontinent, it is commemorated for diverse causes and observed and celebrated in varied ways. There are four seasonal Navaratris, according to theory. But in reality, the autumn festival known as Sharada Navaratri, which is celebrated in honour of the divine feminine Devi, is the one that is most observed (Durga). The bright half of the Hindu month of Ashvin, which usually falls in the Gregorian months of September and October, is when the holiday is observed.
