Everybody is familiar with the glory of Navratri in India. The festival of Navratri is celebrated twice a year. The first Navratri is organized from Pratipada date of Shukla Paksha of Chaitra month to Navami date and the second Navratri from Pratipada of Shukla Paksha of Ashwin month to Navami date. In particular, the festival of Navratri is celebrated twice a year, the first of which is held at the beginning of summer and the second at the beginning of winter. The reason behind this is that by worshiping Mother Durga, the body and mind can get the power to endure both these seasons. This Navratri is more famous, hence it is called 'Mahanavratra'. We all know it by the name of ‘Shardiya Navratri’. In almost every state of the country, this Navratri is celebrated with full fervor. In this, nine forms (one form per day) of Maa Durga are worshiped. First- Shailputri, Second- Brahmacharini, Third- Chandraghanta, Fourth- Kushmanda, Pancham- Skandamata, Shashtham- Katyayani, VII-Kalratri, Ashtami- Mahagauri, and Navam- Siddhidatri.
