Navratri is important as a celebration of Goddess Durga’s victory over evil, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil and the power of the divine feminine. It fosters spiritual reflection, community bonding, and cultural unity, promoting self-discipline, compassion, and inner strength. Additionally, Navratri holds agricultural significance as a harvest festival and marks seasonal transitions, intertwining spiritual practices with the agrarian calendar.
