Mumbai, Marine drive. The conquest and annexation of Mumbai¡¯s streets is complete. But these are invaders who are welcomed with open arms. No place like Mumbai during Navratri. ( I know I¡¯m going to hear howls of protest from cities in Gujarat! ?) pic.twitter.com/vaGNSVSybE

Navaratri essentially means ¡®nine nights¡¯, a festival dedicated to Goddess Durga - the feminine divinity and her nine forms. During those nine days, people maintain ritualistic fasts, recite shlokas dedicated to each goddess, and seek blessings for the well-being of their families.
The festival is observed across India in various ways. From Garba to the Dandiya Raas, Navratri is celebrated with much fanfare and fervour.
