[{"data":"<p>India, the land of festivals. India could well be called the land of festivals. The amalgamation of different cultures, languages and religions ensures that there is a festival being celebrated in some part of India almost every week. Festivals in India are awaited all year long and are celebrated with great pomp and show. The entire atmosphere is filled with joy and enthusiasm during the festive season. People of India love their festivals and celebrate even the less significant ones with enthusiasm. \nNight provides rest and rejuvenation. During the night, you turn inwards through sleep, and you wake up feeling refreshed and rested in the morning. In the same way, Navratri or the \u2018nine nights\u2019 is that time of the year when you get the chance to experience deep rest. This deep rest brings freedom from all kinds of botherations, deep relaxation, and creativity. Navratri, as the name itself suggests that it is a festival which spans for nine nights(ten days). Our spirit has existed since time immemorial. It is the boundless and the eternal source of energy of this universe. During Navratri, even the subtle energies in the environment enhance and assist one\u2019s experience of reaching the spirit. The prayer, chanting, and meditation performed during Navratri connect us with our spirit. Getting in touch with the spirit invokes positive qualities within us and destroys laziness, pride, obsession, cravings, and aversions. When stress in the form of negative emotions is destroyed, we experience the deep rest of the transforming nine nights. The festival is associated to the prominent battle that took place between Durga and demon Mahishasura and celebrates the victory of Good over Evil. These nine days are solely dedicated to Goddess Durga and her nine Avatars. Each day is associated to an incarnation of the goddess. People celebrate these nine days by keeping fasts and dressing up in different colours of the auspicious days. During Navratri people prefer their folk art garba and dandiya. All the people nearby gather at one place to enjoy and play garba. Well it is said that if you want to experience the best Navratri which will stay for a lifetime.. Then rajasthan, Gujarat, and kolkata are the best places to look out for. Well I'm not a Hindu but as kolkata is my hometown so I know lot about the trends over there and I like to explore all different cultures and traditions. So I have experience some of the mesmerizing celebrations of durga Pooja over there. So There instead of saying 'Navratri' they say it as name 'Durga pujo'. In Sanskrit durga means 'the impenetrable'; she exists in a state of self-sufficiency and in ultimate power. This powerful form of Mother Goddess is highly revered in Kolkata which is why her return is celebrated with much grandeur and ceremonies\nIf you are in Kolkata during Durga Pooja, then you are at the right place on right time of the grand celebrations, you shouldn't miss out on. The preparations for the festival are as fascinating as the festival itself. A week prior to the festival, the city gears up and can be seen wearing a look of eagerness and excitement as it prepares itself to welcome the Goddess home. The gorgeously decorated pandals each emphasize a theme; be it the legends of Goddess Durga or scenes from Hindu epic texts. Nowadays, some pandals are themed on a social cause to spread awareness. Day time is usually better to see the pandals closely when the crowd is less however; the brightly lit pandals in hundreds of colors is quite a sight of its own in the evenings. Food is a major feature of the Kolkata Durga Puja festival and Kolkata is reputed to be a foodie's paradise. Sure enough, in a festival this grand you are bound to find the most delicious and incredible variety of Bengali cuisine. From snacks and sweet dishes that only Kolkata is famous for; to the Kolkata Durga Puja special themed Bhog meals that have a little of everything. All the pandals offer Bhog (offerings made to the Goddess Durga which is later distributed among the devotees) and community kitchens are also set up. So I would like to rest my views by saying that not only in kolkata, from jammu and kasmir to kanyakumari all over the India. Navratri is celebrated in a different and unique way. During these festivals we get to see different colours of india. It may be cultures, traditions, other rituals or religious practices, different states have different way of celebrating. As we say india has it own different colours, it is because of the festivals, culture, tradition. Navratri is celebrated in a different and unique way. So if we want to explore india, it's better to do it mostly on festivals seasons.<\/p>","type":"txt","id":1570344955192},{"id":1570345707155,"type":"img","data":"5d9992ec0aadb"},{"id":1570345355930,"type":"img","data":"5d99918cbeb5c"}]
