Navratri is one of the most sacred Hindu festivals dedicated to the worship of Goddess Durga and her nine divine forms (Navdurga). The festival lasts for nine nights and is celebrated with fasting, prayers, devotional songs, and special rituals across India. During these days, devotees perform Durga Aarti every morning and evening to seek blessings, protection, and positivity from the goddess.

Jai Ambe Gauri Aarti
Jai Ambe Gauri, Maiya Jai Shyama Gauri

Ujjwal Se Dou Naina, Chandravadan Niko.
Kanak Saman Kalevar, Raktambar Raje
Rakt Pushp Gal Mala, Kanthan Par Saje.
Kehri Vahan Rajat, Khadg Khappar Dhari
