Durga Mata Pooja is a Hindu celebration of the
Mother Goddess and the victory of the revered warrior Goddess Durga over the
evil buffalo demon Mahishasura. The festival honours the powerful female force
(shakti) in the Universe. It's believed that the goddess comes to earth during
the festival. The dates of the festival are determined according to the lunar
calendar. Durga Puja is celebrated during the last five days of Navaratri.
Navratri
Festival in Gujarat
Description of Gujarat festivals is incomplete
without the mention of Navratri. Celebrated for nine long days with huge pomp
and show, Navratri is dedicated to all the nine forms of Goddess Durga.
Communities come together to dance in unison during Garba, a seemingly simple
dance, where the crowd moves together in a synchronised circular movement.
Navratri means 'Nine Nights,' the festival is
commemorated for nine long days to perform a Puja to one of the nine forms of
Goddess. All the nine nights are broken up into sections of three; the first
three days are for Goddess Durga, who destroyed Demon Mahishasura and also
human impurities. The next three days are committed to the goddess Lakshmi, the
goddess of spirituality and the last three days are for Goddess Saraswati, the
goddess of wisdom and art.
