Navratri

Celebrating Spirit, Strength & Togetherness

This Navratri, we embrace tradition with joy, unity, and gratitude.

Navratri for us is more than nine nights of devotion. It’s about embodying resilience, energy, and unity.

Why Navratri is Celebrated?

Navratri, means “Nine Nights”, it is a festival dedicated to Goddess Durga and her nine divine forms.

Each day honors a different form of the goddess, symbolizing power, protection, wisdom, courage, prosperity, and devotion.

Traditionally it commemorates the triumph of Goddess Durga over the demon Mahishasura. Signifying that light and strength always overcome darkness and negativity.

While the autumn and spring Navratri are the most well-known, there are four Navratris in the Hindu calendar, each significant in a different Yuga (epoch): 
  • Vasanta Navratri: Occurs during the Chaitra month of Hindu calendar. (March-April)
  • Gupta Navratri: Held during the Ashadha month of Hindu calendar. (June- July)
  • Sharad Navratri: The most important Navratri, celebrated in the Ashwin month of Hindu calendar. (September-October)
  • Gupta Navratri: Observed during the Magha month of Hindu calendar. (Jan-Feb)

It starts with Ghatasthapana (the ritual of establishing a sacred pot or kalash) on the first day, and concludes with Vijayadashami on the 10th day.

It’s not just a religious festival, but also a cultural celebration filled with music, dance (garba, dandiya), and community gatherings.

For many, Navratri is also a time of self-reflection, discipline, and renewal. A reminder that inner strength is as important as external success.

Wishing you all a happy and prosperous Navratri!
