Shardiya Navratri is a vibrant and sacred Hindu festival that spans nine nights, celebrating the divine feminine energy embodied by Goddess Durga. Observed in the lunar month of Ashwin, this festival is marked by fervent worship, elaborate rituals, and cultural performances.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday extended greetings to fellow Indians on the first day of Navratri, wishing everyone an “auspicious” festival.
“I wish all my countrymen a very Happy Navratri. May this holy festival dedicated to Shakti Vandana prove to be auspicious for everyone. Jai Mata Di!” PM Modi wrote in a post on X.
“On the first day of Navratri, I pray to Maa Shailputri with folded hands! May everyone be blessed by her grace. This prayer to the Goddess is for all of you,” he wrote on X.
समस्त देशवासियों को नवरात्रि की असीम शुभकामनाएं। शक्ति-वंदना को समर्पित यह पावन पर्व हर किसी के लिए शुभकारी सिद्ध हो, यही कामना है। जय माता दी!
