Navratri 2025: Celebrating Goddess Durga, Devotion, Dance, and Joy

Navratri 2025, one of India’s most vibrant and spiritually significant festivals, is a nine-day celebration that honors Goddess Durga and her nine divine forms. Marked by devotion, fasting, music, and dance, it symbolizes the victory of good over evil and the power of inner strength. Beyond its religious essence, Navratri brings people together in joy and cultural expression, making it a festival that beautifully blends faith with festivity. As the country gears up for the celebrations, celebrities open up about what Navratri truly means to them:

Shivangi Verma

Not too sure about Garba this time, but I’ll definitely be keeping the 9-day fast for Mata Rani. My heart feels a little heavy, so I just want to stay connected with her and spend this Navratri in her devotion.

Harleen Kaur Rekhi

I always fast on Navratri, whether it is Chaitra Navratri or Sharadiya Navratri. I try to Google the colours of the day and make sure to wear them. It’s a very auspicious occasion, and when you fast, there is also a science behind it and reasons for doing so.

Shagun Sharma

Navratri has always been special for me. I may not be able to do the 9-day fast every year, but I do try to keep at least the first and last day fast. More than rituals, it’s about connecting with positivity and keeping yourself spiritually balanced. If I get time, I also love attending Garba nights because the energy and colours are so infectious.

Shubhangi Atre

Navratri has always been very close to my heart. During these nine days, I make it a point to visit the temple at least once and spend some quiet time in prayer. I follow a sattvic diet throughout, as I believe it helps in cleansing the mind and body and keeps you spiritually aligned. Another beautiful tradition I like to follow is wearing the specific colour associated with each day of Navratri. It’s a widely practiced ritual, and I feel it not only adds to the festive spirit but also strengthens the divine connection with Maa Durga. For me, Navratri is about devotion, discipline, and passing on these values to the next generation.
