Guruji With Pawan Sinha: All you need to know about Chaitra Navratri

This year, Chaitra Navratri is being observed from April 6 to 14. It is also hailed as new year by Hindus or Hindu Nav Varsh.

Nine 'avatars' or incarnations of Goddess Durga, namely Shailputri, Chandraghata, Kushmanda, Skandamata, Katyayani, Kaalratri, Mahagauri, and Siddhidaatri, are worshipped during Chaitra Navratri - one on each day.

The festival culminates on April 14 with RamaNavami, celebrating the birth of Lord Rama.
