For many of my friends n readers who are new to these wishes/festivity, it literally means “Nav = Nine & Ratri = Nights”. It’s the celebration of 9 nights and 10 days where we worship & welcome “Goddess Durga” (Also known as Shakti – the destroyer of evil) with her children to her maternal home on earth. It’s also the beginning of good days and the onset of winter festivals in India, celebrated in different ways n passion in every state.
