Navratri, a nine-day festival honoring Goddess Durga, is celebrated with fervor across India. Each day is dedicated to a different form of the goddess, with Chandraghanta being worshipped on the third day. According to Hindu mythology, Chandraghanta is a married form of Goddess Parvati, known for her bravery and peace-promoting qualities. Devotees believe that worshipping her brings courage, inner peace, and protection from negativity.
During Navratri, communities come together to perform traditional dances like Garba and Dandiya Raas, especially in Gujarat. In West Bengal, the festival transforms into Durga Puja, featuring grand idols and cultural programs. In South India, families set up Golu displays and conduct community prayers, showcasing the rich cultural diversity of the country.
As the nation celebrates the vibrant festival of Navratri, PM Modi’s message resonates with millions, emphasizing the importance of faith, positivity, and prosperity.
