The Navratri festival is dedicated to the Mother Goddess .All over the world Hindus celebrate Navratras with great devotion.  Navratras literally means “nine nights".  These nights are devoted to the worship of Goddess Durga. Navratras are celebrated twice in a year.  She represents Shakti, the cosmic energy that animates all beings; they are responsible for the creation of the world according to the Puranas and Vedas (ancient Hindu Scriptures).
