[quote=Anonymous]Yes and not very successful with the fasting aspect, although managed to avoid the grains. Looking forward to dancing the night away ( garba, Dandiya ) with my Gujju friends! Navaratri ( nine nights) is dedicated to the worship of the goddesses Durga, saraswati and Lakshmi. They represent the energies of bravery,(valour), knowledge (education) and prosperity (wealth). It's a season of vrat(abstinence) , Puja(prayer) and celebration. At the end of the festival is Kanye puja where you literally worship girls as goddesses and offer them sweets and gifts. in southern India there is a tradition of arranging and displaying dolls also called "golu".
