Thanks for the post. The Navaratri festival is celebrated all over India but in different ways.In eastern India, especially in Bengal, the festival is celebrated as Durga Puja. Kolkata is one of the best places to witness Durga Puja celebrations

i am originally from Uttar Pradesh. Navaratri is one of the most important festivals here. the festival is a nine days carnival dedicated to Goddess Durga. Another essential part of the Navaratri celebrations is the Ramlila. Ramlila is an important tradition of our state. This festival falls in the month of Ashwin or in the months of September/ October. The tenth day of the festival holds special significance as offerings are made to Durgadevi.

Navratra festival is a festival of joy. basically I am from the border of maharashtra and karnataka. In our tradition these 9 days are celebrated with great zing. It is must for every person in the family to visit Kuladevata God who protects the family from ancestral times at least once in these 10 days. One should go and light a diya in front of god, so as to continue with the generation i.e. for a healthy progeny . Also in navratra utsav dhartimata s puja is performed by growing 9 different types of grains. keeping a pot filled with water in the middle. A special type of puri s are made to offer the godess and kuladevata. These puris are called as Kadakani. name itself suggests the crispiness of dish. After navratra comes Dassera, when farmers are most happy people on this earth as the crops are ready to be removed and sent to market or for their daily use. Hence before entering market some part of crop is offered to godess and kuldevata.
