The nine-day Hindu festival of Navratri begins on 18 March. Observed across north India, the nine-day Navratri has a very special significance in Hindu religion.

Though there are actually five Navratris in a year, it is the Chaitra Navratri and the Sharad Navratri that are widely celebrated.

The Sharad Navratri is celebrated during September-October period, culminating in Dusshera. The Chaitra Navratri falls in March-April during the Shukla Paksha of the Hindu month of Chaitra. Thus this Navratri is Chaitra Navratri.

Chaitra Navratri will culminate with Ram Navami, or Lord Ram’s birthday. Hindus observe fast for all nine days or the first and the last day.

Each day, a different form of Goddess Durga is worshipped. It should be noted that Goddess Durga is believed to have nine forms.

So how are you planning to greet people on this Navratri? Here are some quotes, greetings, wishes and messages to help you.
