The most significant Navratri is Sharad Navratri, falling in the Lunar month of Ashwin. It is called Sharad Navratri as it falls in Sharad Ritu (Fall season).

The time to perform the rituals is astronomically determined.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"History_of_Navratri\"><\/span>History of Navratri<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It is difficult to ascertain the exact date or era during which the custom of Navratri celebrations began. The feminine aspect of divine natural forces is mentioned in the oldest books on planet \u2013 the Vedas, dating back to 6000 BCE. There are mentions of ancient sages worshipping Goddesses like \u2013 Usha and Saraswati.<\/p>\n<p>The earliest references to a divine mother fighting evil were made in the Puranas, composed during 400 to 1000 BCE. The first and most significant ancient text which indicates the celebration of Navratri is \u201cDurga Saptashati\u201d also called Chandi Path. It was practiced widely in India during 3<sup>rd<\/sup> century BCE. The scholars and Gupta kings edited the text around 4<sup>th<\/sup> century, making it more popular.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Navratri_Mythology\"><\/span>Navratri Mythology<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are various myths and legends associated with Navratri Festival. One of the most famous one revolves around Goddess Durga and an evil king Mahishasura. Another legend has Mahishasura as an Aryan king and Goddess Durga as another queen.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Goddess_Durga_and_Evil_Demon_Mahishasura\"><\/span>1) Goddess Durga and Evil Demon Mahishasura<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Legends have it that Mahishasura was an evil king with the head of a buffalo. However, he was an ardent devotee of Lord Brahma and after years of worship and penance was offered a wish by the latter. Mahishasura asked for immortality. He asked for a wish that he could never be killed by a man or an animal on the face of earth. Somehow, he thought that he was too powerful to be killed by a woman and didn\u2019t need any wish regarding it. Thus, Lord Brahma granted a boon to Mahishasura that he could not be killed on earth by a man or an animal, but a woman would be able to kill him.<\/p>\n<p>Getting the boon of immortality, Mahishasura headed on, to conquer the three worlds \u2013 heaven, earth and hell. He also tried to capture Indraloka \u2013 the kingdom of Lord Indra. Thus a battle ensued between Mahishasura and other Gods led by Indra. However, Mahishasura emerged victorious given to the immortality boon.<\/p>\n<p>Dejected with the defeat, Gods asked Lord Vishnu to intervene. After assessing the situation Lord Vishnu decided to create a woman to slain Mahishasura. Since, Lord Shiva is the God of destruction he was also consulted. Thus, Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva combined all their powers and created Goddess Durga.<\/p>\n<p>Durga is believed to be an incarnation of Goddess Parvathi and is revered as \u201cMahashakti\u201d- the supreme power. The battle between Mahishasura and Goddess Durga lasted for fifteen days, during which Mahishasura took forms of various animals to escape her. However, on the concluding day when he took the shape of a buffalo, he was cornered by Durga who killed him with her trident. The day Mahishasura was killed by Durga is called \u201cMahalaya\u201d and marks the first day of Navratri celebrations.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Aryan_King_Mahishasura_and_Queen_Durga\"><\/span>2) Aryan King Mahishasura and Queen Durga<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Another legend states that Mahishasura was a powerful Aryan king, whose people worshipped buffalos. The king was so powerful that he captured the whole kingdom of Aryabarta, defeating many kings. A queen appeared to rule the northern parts of Aryabarta. The defeated kings started pleading alliance with the queen. Subsequently their collective army grew in numbers and strength.<\/p>\n<p>When Mahishasura came to know about the Queen\u2019s growing strength he sends a messenger, offering her to become his consort. Thinking that a woman could not harm him, Mahishasura kept on sending messengers; though, every time the queen declined his offer. In the mean time queen\u2019s army grew in number and strength and finally an attack on the buffalo king was planned.<\/p>\n<p>Inferior in strength and number, Mahishasura\u2019s army was defeated and he was killed by the queen by her spear. The queen is believed to have fed dead Mahishasura to his pet lion. With the passage of time the queen took the form of Adi Shakti and revered as Goddess Durga.<\/p>\n<table class=\"table table-bordered table-striped\" style=\"width: 89.1759%; height: 240px;\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"5\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 24px; text-align: center;\" colspan=\"2\"><strong>List of Quotes<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 24px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/english\/quotes\/women-empowerment-quotes\/\"><strong>Women Empowerment Quotes \u2013 Quotations by famous people<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 24px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/english\/quotes\/lal-bahadur-shastri-quotes\/\"><strong>Quotes of Lal Bahadur Shastri \u2013 Famous Quotations by Lal Bahadur Shastri<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 24px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/english\/quotes\/education-quotes\/\"><strong>Quotes on Education \u2013 Education Quotations by famous personalities<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 24px;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/english\/quotes\/independence-day-quotes\/\">Independence Day Quotes<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 24px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/english\/quotes\/mothers-day-quotes\/\"><strong>Mother\u2019s Day Quotes<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 24px;\"><strong>Swami Vivekananda Quotes<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 24px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/english\/quotes\/republic-day-quotes\/\"><strong>Republic Day Quotes<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 24px;\"><strong>Global Warming Quotes<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 24px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/english\/quotes\/swachh-bharat-abhiyan-quotes\/\"><strong>Swachh Bharat Abhiyan Slogan and Quotes<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 24px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/english\/quotes\/mahatma-gandhi-quotes\/\"><strong>Quotes of Mahatma Gandhi<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 24px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/english\/quotes\/inspirational-quotes-for-students\/\"><strong>Inspirational Quotes for students<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 24px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/english\/20-motivational-quotes-in-english\/\"><strong>20 Motivational Quotes in English<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 24px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/english\/quotes\/love-myself-quotes\/\"><strong>Love Myself Quotes<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 24px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/english\/quotes\/friendship-quotes\/\"><strong>Friendship Quotes<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 24px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/english\/quotes\/good-morning-quotes\/\"><strong>Good Morning Quotes<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 24px;\"><strong>Global Warming Quotes<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 24px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/study-materials\/english\/quotes\/health-is-wealth-quotes\/\"><strong>Health is Wealth Quotes<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 24px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/study-materials\/english\/valentines\/valentines-day-quotes\/\"><strong>Valentine Day Quotes<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_is_Navaratri_Celebrated\"><\/span>How is Navaratri Celebrated?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Navratri is a major Hindu festival which is celebrated throughout India as well as places outside India.
