Well, the festival of Navratri comes four times in a year in different regions of the country, however the autumn Navratri which precedes the mega festival of Diwali is considered to be the most auspicious.
The nine-day period during the autumn Navratri is also celebrated with the maximum of gusto and enthusiasm. This year, the Navratri is going to commence from October 17 and will last till October 25.
