Sharad Navratri Festival – Its significance And Importance
Sharad Navratri is one of the four Navratri festivals that are celebrated in India. The four Navratri festivals mark the beginning of each season in India. Likewise, Sharad Navratri is a Hindu festival celebrated annually in September or October. Navratri, which means “nine nights,” is a time for worshipping the Hindu deity Durga and her various forms. This festival is observed with great devotion and enthusiasm by Hindus across India and around the world. Hence, the term “Sharad Navratri” meaning is “The Autumn celebration of Nine Nights”.

The festival is divided into nine days, each dedicated to a different form of Durga. On each day of Navratri, devotees perform puja (worship) and offer prayers to the deity. During the festival, people also engage in fasting, singing devotional songs, and participating in cultural programs and dances.

The last day of Navratri is known as Dussehra or Vijayadashami, which marks the triumph of good over evil. It is celebrated with great zeal and enthusiasm, particularly in North India, where large models of the demon king Ravana are burned to symbolise the victory of good over evil.

Apart from religious significance, the significance of Sharad Navratri is that it also holds cultural and social importance in many regions of India. In many parts of the country, people participate in traditional dances such as Garba and Dandiya, which are performed in large gatherings, often late into the night. These dances are performed around a centrally placed image of the deity and are accompanied by devotional music and singing.
