Write a essay on Navaratri nights and on Dusshera night

Answer 1

Answer:

Navratri festival is the joyous way of worshipping Goddess Durga. The festival is celebrated all over the country with joy and fervour. ‘Nav’ means nine and ‘Ratri’ means night. The festival is so-called as it encompasses celebrations over a period of nine nights.

In north-eastern and eastern states, Navratri is referred to as Durga Puja.

The nine days of Navratri are usually dedicated to the nine incarnations (avatars) of goddess Durga:

The first day, Shailputri is an incarnation of goddess Parvati. Clad in red, she is depicted as the direct incarnation of Mahakali. She rides the bull Nandi with a Trishula and lotus in her hands.

The second day, Brahmacharini is another incarnation of goddess Parvati or her unmarried self, Sati. She symbolises calmness and peace and is depicted holding a Japa mala and kamandal. The colour code for the day is blue, as it symbolises tranquillity and strength.

The fourth day, Kushmanda is referred to as the creative power in the universe.

The fifth day, Skandamata, The mother of Lord Skanda or Kartikeya, Skandmata depicts the strength of a mother when her children are in danger.

The sixth day, Katyayani is a warrior goddess and she is depicted with four arms

Seventh-day, Mahakali is the most violent form of goddess Durga.

The eighth day, Mahagauri, the goddess depicts peace and optimism on this day; hence the colour associated with the eighth day of Navratri is pink.

Ninth day, Goddess Sidhidatri sits on a lotus and has the power of the Siddhis.

CONCLUSION:
