nav-rat-tree
This literally means ‘nine nights’ and is the name of a festival celebrated twice a year (March and October) during the spring and autumn equinoxes. Hindus mark the change of seasons by honouring different forms of the Divine Mother.
In South India, for example, at Navaratri, the goddess is worshipped in three forms. During the first three nights, offerings are made to Durga, then Lakshmi on the fourth, fifth and sixth nights, and finally Sarasvati until the ninth night.
