All About Navratri As a Poignant Indian Festival:
Navratri is an important Indian festival celebrated annually that witnesses a nine-day long set of festivities including the ‘garba raas’, ‘ram leela’, ‘Durga puja’, and more across different parts of the country.
In the eastern parts of the country, particularly West Bengal, the festival is an annual event that is celebrated as ‘Durga Puja’. It is complete with ‘pandal hopping’, ‘dhunuchi naach’, festive delicacies such as ‘rasgullas’, ‘mughlai parathas’, ‘sandesh’, and more.
Whereas, in north India, it is celebrated as ‘Navratri’ which is a nine-day long festival celebrating Lord Rama defeating Ravana which is popularly termed as ‘victory of good over evil’.
‘Sukhee’ actor Shilpa Shetty and her husband Raj Kundra celebrated the most adorable and heart-melting ‘Ashtami Puja’ this Navratri as they prayed to their very own daughter and deity, Samisha Shetty.
