The nine-day Hindu festival of Navratri begins on 10 October (Wednesday). The festival of Navratri is observed across north India and has a very special significance in Hindu religion. The nine-day festival is dedicated to Goddess Durga and her nine forms.

Beautiful idols of Goddess Durga are made and worshiped during this period. This year, the festival of Sharad or Maha Navratri will be celebrated from October 10, 2018, to October 18, 2018 (Wednesday to Thursday).
