Vasant Navaratri

Next Vasant Navaratra: April 04, 2011 8:00 pm

Vasant Navaratri is a Hindu Festival that takes place in the beginning of spring and is dedicated to the Divine Mother, specifically in the forms of Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswati. Both the beginning of spring and autumn, important seasons of climatic and solar influence, are periods called Navaratri, the Sanskrit word for "nine nights", and provide sacred opportunities to fast and honor the Divine Mother in ceremonies call pujas.
The spring festival coincides with Ram Navami, the celebraton of the birth of Lord Ram as well as his marriage to Sita.
