Navaratri celebrations in South India
Like in any other part of the country, the Navaratri (Navratri) is celebrated with much devotion in South India too. But the South Indians’ spiritual focus appears to be slightly different from that of others. Though the nine nights of Puja are devoted to goddesses Lakshmi, Durga and Saraswati equally, Saraswati – the goddess of arts, wisdom and learning - appears to be getting a little more importance in South India. And so the South Indians view the Durga Puja as an occasion to express and further their artistic skills. Let’s find out how the Navaratri is celebrated in different parts of South India.
