Navratri celebrates Goddess Durga and her nine forms, with devotees across India observing prayers, rituals and other religious practices throughout the festival.
Sharadiya Navratri begins in the Hindu lunar month of Ashwin and culminates with Vijayadashami, also known as Dussehra, which symbolises the victory of good over evil.
Goddess Shailaputri, whose name means ‘daughter of the mountain’, represents the first form of Goddess Durga. Devotees worship her on the opening day, seeking divine blessings, strength and well-being.
