Worship of maa Durga in Shardiya Navratri 2023, life will be filled with happiness and all wishes will also be fulfilled. This nine-day (नौ दिन) fast of Maa Durga (मां दुर्गा) will start this year from Sunday, October 15, which will end on 24 October 2023, Tuesday. According to Hindu mythology, the festival of Navratri (नवरात्रि का त्यौहार) is completely dedicated to Goddess Durga, the most powerful of all gods. During this time, the worshipers will worship the nine forms of Goddess Durga (मां दुर्गा के नौ स्वरूपों) with reverence for the entire nine days. Shardiya Navratri is celebrated with great enthusiasm throughout northern and eastern India. Navratri is a symbolic celebration of the nine nights of the battle of good against evil with the result of the victory of good (बुराई के खिलाफ अच्छाई की लड़ाई) on the tenth day.

In Shardiya Navratri (शारदीय नवरात्रि), people pray for compassion, wisdom and prosperity in life. The festival is celebrated for nine nights and devotees offer prayers, participate in Dandiya Raas and Garba (डांडिया रास और गरबा) and make offerings to please Goddess Durga. After the 9 days in Shardiya Navratri, the tenth day is celebrated as Dussehra (दशहरा), also known as Vijayadashami (विजयादशमी), which marks the victory of Lord Rama over Ravana (रावण पर भगवान राम की जीत).
