ludhianvi Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Btw in delhi we call it Navratre instead of Navratri. is it same in other parts of north India or other parts of India other then gujarat. i know in gujarat they call it Navratri with "i" we call it Navratre yep, I think its referred to as Navratras/Navratre in N. India. Some here's some info about Navratri/re: It means 9 nights and the tenth day is Dussehra/Vijayadashmi. So during the nine days, the nine forms of Durga Mata are worshiped. The Devis worshipped depend on the tradition of the region i.e Gujarat and Bengal. Durga, * Bhadrakali * Amba or Jagadamba * Annapurna * Sarvamangala * Bhairavi * Chandika or Chandi * Lalita * Bhavani * Mookambika So for the first 3 days, they're devoted to Durga. The Second three days to Laxmi, and the last three days to Sarswati? Does this vary from region to region? I think in Bengal there is more emphasis on Durga. Correct me if you may
