| 3. Common worship in temples. | |||

| As it is celebrated in different styles in different states, details state by state. | |||
| Ashada Navaratri. | |||
| If we can agree on a common content, then the celebrations state by state could be added by members who have knowledge of the same with sources. | |||
| Most of the sources have to be necessarily different web sites, as there is hardly any book on this. | |||
| So let us set the ball rolling. | |||

| ==Weak Article== | |||
| As a hindu, i feel ashamed at this article and many others pertaining to Hinduism and its culture. Lets do our best to share information to the many ignorant on our religion. | |||
| == Two Navratris? == | |||
| Navratri is celebrated differently in various part of India and Nepal. Navratras are observed twice a year, once in Chaitra (Vasant Navratri), preceding Rama Navami, and then in Ashvin (September - October) preceding Dussehra. The nine-day Navratra commences with the new moon of Ashvin and terminates with Mahanavami, on the ninth lunar day of the bright half of the month. During these nine days, devotees keep strict fast and Durga is worshipped. The style of observing Navratra in different parts of the country may be different, but its sole aim is to propitiate Mother Durga and to seek her blessings. | |||
| The festival of Navratri (nav = nine and ratri = nights) lasts for 9 days with three days each devoted to worship of Maa Durga, the Goddess of Valor, Ma Lakshmi, the Goddess of Wealth and Maa Saraswati, the Goddess of Knowledge. During the nine days of Navratri, feasting and fasting take precedence over all normal daily activities amongst the Hindus. Evenings give rise to the religious dances in order to worhip Goddess Durga Maa. The day after Navratri i.e. the 10th day after Ashwina, is Dussera which celebrates the victory of lord Rama over Ravana. Ravana is burnt in effigy, often giant dummies of Ravana stuffed with fireworks are shot with arrows until they blow up before a large, applauding audience. | |||

| I am unaware of there being two Navratris; can anyone confirm the March Navratri and its origin? ] 13:32, 9 February 2006 (UTC) | |||
| Yes, Navatri is observed twice a year, once in the month of Chaitra and then in Aswayuja. It lasts for nine days in honour of the nine manifestations of Durga. During Navaratri (the word literally means "nine nights") devotees of Durga observe a fast. Brahmins are fed and prayers are offered for the protection of health and property. | |||
| The beginning of summer and the beginning of winter are two very important junctions of climatic and solar influence. These two periods are taken as sacred opportunities for the worship of the Divine Mother. They are indicated respectively by the Rama-Navaratri in Chaitra (April-May) and the Durga Navaratri in Aswayuja (September-October). The bodies and minds of people undergo a considerable change on account of the changes in Nature. Sri Rama is worshipped during Ramnavmi, and Mother Durga during Navaratri. | |||

| {{reflist-talk}} | |||
| First, I'll say that this article badly needs attention in regards to writing and the proper use of English grammar and Misplaced Pages-appropriate prose (e.g. "north india" in introduction needs to be "North India"; The Sharad Navaratri section ends with a sentence on the dates of Navaratri (Is it Navaratri or Navarathri or Navratri? The article is not clear) and ends with a random "6.15 am." What does that even mean? Also, the stories present in the section Vasanta Navarati lack citations (another problem with this article, a lack of well-sourced information). | |||
| ==Wiki Education assignment: Introduction to Community Economic and Social Development II== | |||
| But beyond that, I would also be interested in why this seems to lack any reference to the Navarati celebrations outside of India; I live in the United States and celebrations are widespread here (as, I would imagine, in other parts of the world). Why not mention that? This article seems to lack a worldview. | |||

| In the first paragraph, Dasara is referenced without explaining what it is or how it's relevant. Of course, it's an alternate spelling of the Dussehra mentioned in the previous sentence. But that needs to be explained. I've fixed it in a way that makes sense to me. Another option would be to write "Dussehra (also spelled Dasara)." ] (]) 01:29, 15 December 2013 (UTC) | |||

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.
