Navratri is a 9-night Hindu festival dedicated to the worship of three main goddesses - Durga, Lakshmi, and Saraswati. Each night honors a different manifestation of the goddess. Durga is worshipped on the first 3 nights as Kumari, Parvati, and Kali. Lakshmi is worshipped on nights 4-6 as the goddess of peace, plenty and bliss. Saraswati is worshipped on the final 3 nights as the goddess of knowledge. The festival is celebrated uniquely across India and abroad through devotional songs, prayers and cultural programs, most notably Garba and Dandiya Raas dances in Gujarat.
