Navratri is a nine-day festival in Hinduism dedicated to the worship of goddess Durga and her nine forms, symbolizing different qualities such as strength, wisdom, and courage. The term navratri originates from two Sanskrit words: nava meaning “nine” and ratri meaning “night.” During these nine days, people pray, fast, and participate in traditional music and dance.
