Hi guys.. This is my fifth blog.
Navratri is a nine nights(and ten days) Hindu festival, celebrated differently in various parts of Indian Subcontinent.
Celebrations include Stage decorations, recital of the legend, enacting of the story, and chanting of the scriptures of the Hinduism. Each region of India has their own traditions and forms of worship as well as celebrations. Navratri in Goa is a unique and beautiful festival with a fascinating backstory. Navratri is the festival of nine nights when Durga, The goddess of creativity and procreation, is worshiped throughout India as Bhumika, Bhavani, Bhagvati, Kalika,Mahamaya,Durga and so on.
Shakti Peethas are shrines or divine places of the Mother Goddess. These are places that are believed to have been blessed with the presence of Shakti due to the falling body parts of the corpse of Sati Devi, when Lord Shiva carried it and wonderded throughout Aryavartha (India) in sorrow.
There are 51 Shakti Peeths linking to the 51 alphabets in Sanskrit. Each temple has Shrines for Shakti and Kalbhairava, and most Shakti and Kalbhairva in different Shakti Peeths have different names. The festival of Navratri is celebrated all across the length and breadth of India, however, possibly one of the most unique traditions and celebrations takes place in the Shakti Peeths.
