Sharad Navratri commences on the initial day of the lunar month Ashwin and concludes on the tenth day of the same month. This festival venerates Maa Durga and is observed with profound devotion. Popularly known as Durga Puja, it is predominantly celebrated in Northern and Eastern India.

In Hindu mythology, Lord Ram fervently worshipped the sacred goddess to engage in combat and vanquish the Demon King Lord Raavan. This tale symbolizes the triumph of good over evil.
