| Navratri Festival
|
Why do we dance with joy for nine nights? Well, it is the nine days when we are suppose to thank the female principle of nature and the goddesses connected to them. The nine nights are dedicated to the three main goddesses - Parvati, Lakshmi and Sarasvati. Naratri is now becoming more of a commercial thing and less attention is given to the spiritual aspect of the festival. It is important to know what each day is celebrated for and the importance of the rituals that should be carried out during the 9 days like arti and pujans.
