Celebrate Garba (Navratri) with Namaste!
September 23, 2024
Hindus celebrate Navratri to honor the divine feminine energy embodied by Goddess Durga. The festival spans nine nights and commemorates the victory of Durga over the demon Mahishasura, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil. Each day is dedicated to a different form of Durga, representing her attributes like strength, wisdom, and protection. It is a time of fasting, prayer, and cultural festivities, such as Garba and Dandiya dances, which bring communities together.
Navratri also signifies seasonal transitions, spiritual renewal, and inner cleansing. Devotees seek the Goddess’s blessings for health, prosperity, and protection, while reflecting on the cyclical nature of life.
