The Hindu festival of Navratri is celebrated over a span of nine nights. The word Navratri comes from the Sanskrit words Nava (meaning nine) and ratri (night). This year the festival will be observed between September 29 and October 7.
Navratri is celebrated by Hindus in India and around the world to commemorate the triumph of good over evil. Legend has it that Goddess Durga, who is the Goddess of war, battled Mahishasura who was a powerful demon.
Lord Brahma had granted Mahishasura immortality, with the condition that he could only be defeated by a woman. The demon in his arrogance attacked the Trilok, which is heaven, hell and Earth. Since he could only be defeated by a woman, the Gods were powerless in front of him. Which is when Lord Brahma gave the responsibility of destroying Mahishasura to Goddess Durga. Goddess Durga battled with the demon for over 15 days, and the demon kept changing his physical form to confuse her. When he took the form of a buffalo, Goddess Durga killed him with a trishul. And it is for this triumph that Navratri is celebrated, and on each day a different avatar of Goddess Durga is worshipped.
