A Few Unknown Facts About Navaratri

Orchid Pune - 17th September 2025

Celebrating Navaratri in Pune

Navaratri, a vibrant festival spanning nine sacred days, honors the nine avatars of Goddess Durga. In Pune, this holy festival is celebrated with immense joy and devotion, welcoming the goddess with heartfelt rituals and lively festivities. Join us as we explore the essence of Navaratri, its traditions, and how Pune brings this festival to life.

Good Over Evil

Navaratri commemorates the triumph of good over evil, as Goddess Durga defeated the demon Mahishasura after a fierce nine-day battle. Enchanted by her beauty, Mahishasura sought to marry her, but Durga agreed only if he could defeat her in combat. On the tenth day, she vanquished the demon, symbolizing the victory of righteousness.

Lord Ram and Navaratri

In North India, Navaratri is associated with Lord Ram, who worshipped Goddess Durga for nine days to gain strength to defeat the demon king Raavan. This belief underscores the festival’s theme of eliminating evil, making it a time of spiritual renewal and devotion.

The Days of Honour and Dance

Navaratri celebrates the divine reunion of Goddess Durga with her mother for nine days, a time of joy and reverence. The festival is also marked by vibrant dance forms like Garba and Dandiya, which bring communities together in rhythmic celebration. These traditional dances, now blended, are a highlight of Navaratri, filling the nights with energy and unity. Additionally, women plant grains during these nine days, offering the sprouted saplings to the goddess for prosperity and happiness.
