Navratri is a nine-day celebration in which Goddess Durga is worshipped in 9 distinct incarnations. It is among the most important Hindu holidays, which Hindus throughout India commemorate with tremendous zeal. In a year, there are four Navratris, and yet only two, Chaitra Navratri and Sharad Navratri are widely celebrated. This same holiday is celebrated differently in different areas of the country. Even though they worship the same deity, they have different rites.
