Navratri, also spelled Navaratri or Navarathri, is a 9 day long Hindu festival celebrated in almost every part of India. In most parts it is celebrated in honor of the divine Devi - Durga, a re-incarnation of Adi Shakti. In the southern and eastern states of India, the Durga Puja is synonymous with worshiping the Goddess - Navratri, wherein goddess Durga battles and emerges victorious over Mahishasura - the buffalo demon. In the northern and western states, the festival celebrates the battle and victory of god Rama over the demon king Ravana. In both cases, the festival celebrates the victory of the good over evil. The 9 days of Navratri are dedicated to the worship of 9 forms of the Goddess - Shailaputri, Brahmacharini, Chandraghanta, Kushmanda, Skandamata, Katyayani, Kaalaratri, Mahagauri, Durga or ParaShakti. Here are the stories of each of these Goddesses. नवरात्रि भारत के लगभग हर हिस्से में मनाया जाने वाला 9 दिवसीय हिंदू त्योहार है। अधिकांश भागों में यह दिव्य देवी - दुर्गा, आदि शक्ति के पुन: अवतार के सम्मान में मनाया जाता है। भारत के दक्षिणी और पूर्वी राज्यों में, दुर्गा पूजा का उत्सव मनाया जाता है, जिसमें देवी दुर्गा युद्ध करती हैं और महिषासुर - भैंस दानव पर विजय प्राप्त करती हैं। उत्तरी और पश्चिमी राज्यों में, यह त्योहार राक्षसराज रावण पर भगवान श्री राम की लड़ाई और जीत के जश्न के रूप में मनाई जाती है। बुराई पर अच्छाई की जीत का सन्देश यह त्यौहार देता है। नवरात्रि के 9 दिन देवी के 9 रूपों - शैलपुत्री, ब्रह्मचारिणी, चंद्रघंटा, कुष्मांडा, स्कंदमाता, कात्यायनी, कालरात्रि, महागौरी, दुर्गा या परशक्ति की पूजा के लिए समर्पित हैं। यहां आप प्रत्येक देवी की कहानी सुन सकते हैं।
