Sharad Navratri is the main Navratri of the year, nine nights devoted to the nine forms of Goddess Durga from Ashwin Shukla Pratipada. It opens with Ghatasthapana, Gujarat dances garba and dandiya every night, and it leads to Durga Puja in the east and Dussehra on the tenth day.
Good to know
The first day of Sharad Navratri is not a Central Government holiday; the holidays fall at the end, on Saptami, Ashtami, Navami and Dussehra.
