Navratri

The Nine Nights of Divinity

The Significance

Why Navratri matters

  • 01

    The first three nights invoke Durga to dissolve impurities and negativity.

  • 02

    The next three invoke Lakshmi for abundance, devotion and grace.

  • 03

    The final three invoke Saraswati for knowledge and wisdom; Vijayadashami crowns the victory of light.
