Navratri : Nine day festival of the Divine Feminine

[Ajay0]

The 9 day Navratri festival is being celebrated by Hindus around the world from last week onwards, and  is from 15-10-23 (Sunday) to 24-10-23 (Tuesday).

The Navratri festival is conducted in reverence of the Mother Goddess Durga. As per Shakta philosophy of Hinduism, all women are manifestations of the Divine Mother and reverence towards them results in auspiciousness and strength.

Quote

Navratri is an opportunity to celebrate, rejoice, and rekindle our spirituality. During Navratri, we celebrate the nine forms of “Goddess Durga or Shakti”, who symbolises purity and divinity, while the depiction of demons like Ravana at her feet represents the five negative Sanskar(vices), including lust, anger, greed, attachment, and ego.. Thus, Navratri serves as an occasion to invoke the deities in our quest to transcend these negative traits and habits.

Ha ha! Most people in my region don't even celebrate it. Some of us keep dolls, toys and God statues like below, we just visit their houses and enjoy the show!
