Why We Celebrate Navratri?

What is Navratri?

Navratri is one of the most loved festivals in India. The word Navratri means “nine nights.” It is celebrated to honor Goddess Durga and her nine different forms. During these nine days, people pray, dance Garba, do Dandiya, fast, and wear different colors each day.

Navratri is also a time when people love to dress up in new clothes and jewellery. Just like your outfit feels incomplete without bright colors, your festival look feels incomplete without the right jewellery.

What Are the 9 Days of Navratri

Each day of Navratri is dedicated to one form of Goddess Durga.

1. Shailaputri (Daughter of the Himalayas)
2. Brahmacharini (The Goddess of penance)
3. Chandraghanta (Goddess of bravery and calmness)
4. Kushmanda (Creator of the universe)
5. Skandamata (Mother of Kartikeya)
6. Katyayani (Warrior Goddess
7. Kalaratri (Destroyer of evil)
8. Mahagauri (Symbol of purity and peace)
9. Siddhidatri (Goddess of supernatural powers)

Just like each day is unique, Caratiro designs jewellery for every mood from simple silver rings to elegant gold and diamond pieces for celebrations.

Why is Navratri Celebrated?

The story behind Navratri is about Goddess Durga fighting and winning against the demon king Mahishasura. The fight went on for nine days, and on the tenth day, she finally defeated him. This is why Navratri is celebrated for nine days – each day honors a different form of Durga.

Just like Durga represents strength and beauty, Caratiro jewellery is designed to make every woman feel powerful and graceful.

Spiritual and Seasonal Significance

Navratri also marks the change of seasons – from monsoon to winter. People fast during these days to clean the body and mind. Spiritually, it is a time to remove negative energy and welcome new beginnings.

Wearing bright colors and jewellery during Navratri is also believed to bring good luck and positivity. Caratiro’s daily wear jewellery collection is perfect for these nine days when you want something comfortable yet stylish for fasting, prayers, and celebrations.

Cultural Significance and Regional Variations

Navratri is not celebrated the same way everywhere:

Gujarat & Maharashtra :- People enjoy Garba and Dandiya nights, dancing with friends and family.

West Bengal :- It is known as Durga Puja, where big idols of the Goddess are worshipped with music, dance, and food.

South India :- Families display dolls in “Golu” and invite friends home.

North India :- People watch “Ramlila” plays and celebrate Dussehra after Navratri.

In every region, jewellery plays a key role – from silver anklets in Garba dances to gold bangles during Durga Puja. You can explore Caratiro’s customised jewellery collection to match your cultural style.

Who Can Defeat Lord Rama?

This is a tricky question! According to mythology, Lord Rama is an avatar of Lord Vishnu. No ordinary human or demon can defeat him. The only power greater is Maa Durga herself, whom Rama also worshipped before fighting Ravana. That is why Navratri is also connected to Ramlila and Dussehra in North India.

When Does Navratri Begin and End?

In 2025, Navratri is begin on September 22, 2025, and end on October 1, 2025.
So, if you are wondering “how many days in Navratri?” – it is always celebrated for nine days. Did you know? India celebrates four Navratris in a year (two are major: Chaitra Navratri in spring and Sharad Navratri in autumn).
