| Navarathri
- Literally 'nine nights', this nine-day period from the new moon day
to the ninth day of Purattasi is considered the most auspicious time
of the Hindu Calendar and is hence the most celebrated time of the
year. Although it has different names in different parts of India, it
is celebrated by Hindus from all regions.
In Tamil Nadu, the first three days of the festival are dedicated to Lakshmi, the next three to Durga and the last three to Saraswati.
