Navratri: The Grand Festivities and Rituals
Navratri, the nine auspicious nights celebrating the nine avatars of goddess Durga with each one having a different representation, is a festival our nation has been celebrating since ages. The festival spans over nine nights, every night celebrated with the same joy and enthusiasm among devotees.
The History Behind Navratri
Navratri involves people celebrating the victory of goddess Durga, the symbol of divine energy over the demon Mahishasura. Maa Durga is a combination of the powers of all the gods, who then fought Mahishasura for nine days & nights and finally emerged victorious on the tenth day. The tenth day is what we celebrate today as Dussehra or Vijayadashmi.
Today, Navratri is celebrated remembering Goddess Durga or Kali, a symbol of divine energy for the first three days. The next three days are celebrated for Goddess Laxmi, symbolizing wealth and prosperity. The final three days are devoted to Goddess Saraswati, blessing devotees with knowledge and wisdom.
Navratri Celebration
Navratri is a festival that brings together spirituality, devotion, culture and unity. Its celebration recognises a feminine power and gives out a universal message that goodness always prevails over evil powers.
Since navratri is a big enough festival to be celebrated across the nation, people have different ways of celebrating it. Some keep a complete fast, some prefer a restricted fast, different people give different offerings to the goddess, but what unites them is their devotion to maa durga. Below are a few tasks people perform to celebrate the auspicious navratri:
1. Arrival of Durga
Marking the beginning of this auspicious festival, people bring a new maa durga idol to their homes. This idol is used to worship maa durga for these nine days in her divine form. If not an idol, then people also perform a kalash sthapana where the kalash symbolizes the presence of maa durga.
For this festival, you can get a new silver maa durga idol exclusively at Khushbu Jewellers. This figure presents maa durga in her fierce eight-armed form riding on a lion. This is the perfect idol to pray to on this navratri for a holy puja.
2. Garba and Dandiya
Creating a fun and amusement factor for the festival, people play Dandiya or perform Garba, a traditional dance form special to this occasion. It originates from Gujarat and involves people dressed in colorful attires, performed in large groups with family or friends, resulting in a cheerful and wholesome environment surrounding the night.
To dress up more specially on this occasion, you can enhance your adornment with our silver payal. Our huge range of silver payals have something suitable for everyone, whether it be a simple and shining silver payal, or a heavy and intricate one.
3. A Holy Puja
In many parts of India, a grand puja is performed regularly during the duration of this festival. Notably in West Bengal, the whole state is transformed into a cultural spectacle for the world to see, where a holy puja is performed accurately to match the age-old rituals. It does not end there as the festival also involves cultural plays, musical and dance performances hailing the goddess and her legend.
To make this day much more luxurious than it already is, you can choose a graceful silver necklace from our huge collection of necklaces. Pick and order your favorite silver necklace and enhance your navratri look like a queen.
4. Kanya Puja
Kanya Puja is a practice almost everybody believes in. It involves inviting nine small girls to one’s home, representing the nine forms of the goddess, preferably on the eighth or ninth day of Navratri. People offer them food, pray and give them different gifts.
As a gift for Kanya Puja, small & shiny rings are what could attract girls the most on such an occasion. Explore our silver rings collection and choose out the best gift for the small avatars of Goddess Durga.
5. Fast
Many devotees observe a fast during Navratri. This fast involves several restrictions to one’s daily food habits varying from place to place. Some base their diet around three or four specific food items, some are allowed to eat regular food but only once a day, it all depends on one’s own belief and devotion.
