Many expressed happiness at seeing cultural diversity and traditions being honoured across borders. Comments included greetings like "Happy Navratri from India" and heart emojis celebrating the occasion.
Navratri, dedicated to the nine forms of Goddess Durga, is a widely celebrated Hindu festival around the world. This year, the Navratri festival is being celebrated from September 22 to October 2. Each day of Navratri, spanning nine nights in the 'shukla paksha' of the Hindu month of 'Ashwin', is dedicated to a specific form of Goddess Durga.
The nine-day festival culminates on Vijayadashami or Dussehra. Navratri is an occasion to worship the nine manifestations of Goddess Durga, known as Navadurga, and seek her blessings. From the peaceful energy of Maa Shailputri to the ferocious and powerful protector Maa Kaalratri, each incarnation of Goddess Durga symbolises various aspects of spirituality.
