Shardiya Navratri is an important period for Hindus. It’s during this time, that the nine forms of Goddess Durga are worshipped. “It falls in lunar month Ashwin during Sharad Ritu. The name Shardiya Navratri has been taken from Sharad Ritu. All nine days during Navratri are dedicated to nine forms of Goddess Shakti. Shardiya Navratri falls in the month of September or October. The nine days festivity culminates on tenth day with Dussehra or Vijaya Dashami,” according to Drik Panchang.
