| == Its name in Sanskrit language == | |||
| I doubt its name, at least in Sanskrit is not "Navratri" but "Navratra". Of course it is a festival of nine nights and "ratri" (feminine gender) is sanskrit word for Night, but the "duration of nine nights" is "Navratra" (in masculine gender).

| == Animal sacrifice == | |||
| Jonathansammy: A publication from 1871 are not HISTRS, and undue. Further, the size of section on animal sacrifice needs to be measured against its relative size with other sections. If you read the sources, animal sacrifice is a relatively minor practice. It is present, and should be mentioned. But, it is rare among Hindu traditions such as Vaishnavas who observe Navratri. Balance is important for NPOV. Therefore I have trimmed that section. ] (]) 21:14, 12 June 2017 (UTC) | |||
| ::Ms Welch, do you statistics on what sect is dominant in Hinduism ? Given the total size of the article, the animal sacrifice section is rather small.We can take the 1871 reference out.The sacrifice at Bhavani temple and Bimla devi at the Jagannath temple should be restored.These are from reliable sources.We can work on it to reduce the size but you can not totally remove their inclusion.Thanks.] (]) 21:33, 12 June 2017 (UTC) | |||
| :::According to , Shaktism demographics represents less than 4% of Hinduism. I have already added a note about the rarity of animal sacrifice, with page numbers from the Fuller source. Frankly, I am disappointed with both sides... those who delete that section to pretend it doesn't exist, and those who restore the badly written POV-y content who cherry pick content from Fuller-like sources but ignore the sentences that the animal sacrifice practice is rare. ] (]) 22:25, 12 June 2017 (UTC) | |||
| ::::Ms Welch,It all depends on ones definition of Shakt. Most Hindu communities have a Goddess as their Kuldevata. Does that make them Shakta ? Not really because at the same time they would be worshippers of Vishnu and his avatars.That is the flexibility of worship in Hinduism and one should not try to pigeon hole people into Vaishnav, Shakta , Shaivite etc. | |||
| Yes, animal sacrifice is going down in numbers but it is there in contemporary Hindu society and therefore it should be mentioned in the article.Thanks for your help.] (]) 13:28, 13 June 2017 (UTC) | |||
| == Appearance of bias? == | |||
| I am completely unacquainted with Navaratri, so please excuse me if I am misinterpreting or otherwise making mistakes. This passage made me pause, however: | |||
| "Hindu devotees celebrate Navratri by fasting. But, fasting is not the correct way to please Maa Durga during Navratri or Shradha Navratri. Holy Bhagavad Gita has also denied fasting. It is clearly mentioned in Holy Bhagavad Gita Adhyay 6 Shlok 16 that this Yog Sadhna is not successful for those who sleep too much or don't sleep, nor for those who eat too much or don't eat,i.e., fasting. That's the reason we did not get the true fruits of Worship." | |||
| "fasting is not the correct way" and the succeeding text sounds like an opinion, which doesn't seem suitable for a Misplaced Pages article. The text may in fact be correct, but it has the effect of invalidating or denigrating the Hindu practice. Can it be rephrased in some more objective fashion, such as: | |||
| "However, most groups consider that fasting is not the correct way to please Maa Durga during Navratri or Shradha Navratri. Holy Bhagavad Gita denies fasting, and Holy Bhagavad Gita Adhyay 6 Shlok 16 says that this Yog Sadhna is not successful for those who sleep too much or don't sleep, nor for those who eat too much or don't eat. Improper sleep and dietary practices are sometimes viewed as the reason humans have not received the true fruits of Worship." | |||
| Again, apologies if I'm trampling. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 20:01, 28 October 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> | |||

Sentence needs clarification
Under Garbha, I do not understand exactly what is meant by this sentence:
A Hindu religious, traditional festival of goddess of power — Amba or Durga for the first nine nights of the month Ashwin of the Vikram year.
It appears to be an incomplete sentence to me. I think it needs clarification.
Cleaning up
I noticed that a lot of room for improvement on this page, especially grammatically and stylistically. I'm going to be spending some time researching and editing the article to polish it up. Feel free to help if you want! Raps19 (talk) 06:09, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
Spelling issue on Navaratri
Well the original and commonly used spelling is Navratri which translates from नवरात्री
But maybe in English this is written as Navaratri only and also Navadurga which is actually Navdurga.
I have seen here is quote cited next to Navaratri (in bold) about 'also spelled as' but being "Navratri" being excessively used everywhere especially in hashtags all across social media. So I want to mention "Navratri" also next to Navaratri. Like this Navaratri or Navratri/Navaratri or notably known or spelled as Navratri.

- The spelling used is the correct transliteration of the Devanagari name (though your ending of long i is wrong). That is how the WP:RS spell it. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 10:25, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
