Navratri, the nine nights of the Goddess, is one of the most auspicious times of the year to pray for your family. Choose one or more poojas and homams, and our priests perform each one during Navratri with sankalpam in your family's name, wherever in the world you live.
Navratri means "nine nights". For nine nights the Goddess is worshipped in three forms: Durga for courage and protection, Lakshmi for abundance, and Saraswati for wisdom and learning. The festival ends on the tenth day, Vijayadashami, the day of victory and new beginnings.
