According to Hindu New Year or Vikram Samvat, the month of Chaitra (usually falls between the months of March and April) marks the New year or first month of Hindu calendar. Every year, the festival is celebrated with a lot of zeal and enthusiasm but is going to be a low key affair this year as the country is under a complete lockdown due to the novel Coronavirus outbreak.
PM Modi announced a lockdown for 21 days, to prevent the deadly virus from spreading further. Barring essential commodities, everything else will be shut down until April 14, 2020.
On Wednesday, as the Hindu New Year begins, the entire country is celebrating Chaitra Navratri, the nine-day long festival during which the nine incarnations of Goddess Durga is worshipped.
