There are four types of Navratri in a year - Chaitra (spring), Shardiya Navratri (autumn), Ashada and Magha Gupt Navratri. But out of these only the first two are widely celebrated.


During Navratri, devotees worship the mother goddess, Shakti and chant her mantras. 


Here's a Durga Aarti which you can sing during the nine-day festival and otherwise as well to seek blessings of the benevolent mother goddess Durga. With a clean conscious, close your eyes, fold your hands and sing along.
