Navaratri

Para que serve esta jornada

Navaratri, meaning nine nights, is a Hindu festival kept each autumn, usually in September or October, on dates that follow the lunar calendar. It looks very different across India, from Durga Puja in Bengal and Garba dancing in Gujarat to Golu doll displays in the south and Ram Lila plays in the north, and it ends on Vijayadashami, or Dussehra, a day celebrating the victory of good over harm. These ten short pages offer a passage, a question and a small practice for each night and the tenth day. You need no prior knowledge, ritual or fasting to use them, during the festival or at any time of year.
