The festival of Navratri is dedicated to Goddess Durga and is spread over a period of nine days. The festival is celebrated four times in a year. However, the Sharadiya Navratri (celebrated during Autumn) and the Chaitra (celebrated during spring season) are the most famous. The other two are Magha Gupta and Ashadha.
