Chaitra Navratri, a Hindu festival spanning nine days, honours the goddess Durga. In 2024, India and other parts of the world embark on this spiritual journey from April 9th to 17th. Each day is dedicated to a different form of the goddess, marked by fasting, prayers, and rituals. Devotees worship Maa Durga and her nine divine forms during Chaitra Navratri. However, on the last day, they celebrate Ram Navami. It marks the birth of Lord Rama. Homes and temples are adorned with vibrant decorations, and devotees chant hymns and perform aarti to seek blessings and divine grace.
