Navratri brings non-stop fun for nine daysand being one of the most popular festivals of the country, it is celebrated bypeople all across the nation and even outside. It is more popularly celebrated in cities like Gujarat, Mumbai and also West Bengal. The fascinating part about this festival is that Navratri is celebrated five times in a year, unlike other festivals. However, the most important and the most celebrated of all is the Vasanta Navratri and also the Sharada Navratri. Celebrated in the honor of Durga, dance and music is the most important part about Navratri. The literal translation of Navratri is nine nights and in all these nine days Durga is worshiped since it is said that she embodies destruction, power and also preservation.

Dear friend,

How are you? Everything is well at my end and hope the same with you. In this letter, I wanted to tell you about Dussehra which is one of the important festivals celebrated in India. The festival is celebrated on the tenth day from the Hindi calendar of Ashvin. It is also known as Vijaydashmi. It is said that on this day Goddess Durga got victory over the buffalo demon Mahishasura. She killed the demon in order to establish peace and harmony among the people. The day is also celebrated as Lord Rama attaining victory over the evil Ravana. This festival is symbolic of the winning of the good over the evil. On this day the elders pray and worship the gods and goddess and ask them to maintain their blessings on their family. Everyone wears new clothes and visits to the temple. Many new dishes are made which are distributed among friends and relatives. Children feel very excited about the day as they visit the fairs where they enjoy a lot. It is a ten-day festival which is celebrated with happiness and enjoyment. For now, I’m ending the letter. Will talk about it more in another letter. Take care of yourself.

Your loving friend

Amita
