Navaratri
Navaratri, meaning "nine nights," is a major Hindu festival celebrated over nine days and nights in honor of the divine feminine goddesses, including Goddess Bhagavathi. Each day of Navaratri is dedicated to a different form of the goddess, and various rituals, prayers, and cultural events are held during this auspicious period.
Thrikkarthika
During Thrikkarthika, people decorate their homes and surroundings with traditional oil lamps (deepams) to commemorate the lighting of lamps by Goddess Parvati to celebrate the victory of Lord Shiva over the demon Tripurasura. It is believed that lighting lamps on this day symbolizes the removal of darkness and the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil.
