The nine-days of Navratri festival are dedicated to the Almighty. The devotees
of Ma Durga would perform special pujas to invoke the deity and pray for peace,
prosperity and happiness. Fasting and singing bhajans are the two highlights of
the festival. While the way of celebrating the occasion might be different in
different regions of the country, but the thought among all remains the same -
to praise the Lord and seek her blessings. Goddess Durga temples are flocked by
devotees, where they offer prayers, perform aarti and chant mantras. Talking
about Navratri mantra, it is chanted during the puja by the devotees, to protect
themselves from evil. In the following lines, we have given Navratri mantra.
