Chaitra Navratri is a famous Hindu festival. Chaitra Navratri, also known as Vasant Navratri, is a Hindu festival celebrated in the month of Chaitra (March–April) every year. It is a nine-day festival that honors the nine forms of Goddess Durga or Shakti. It marks the beginning of the Hindu New Year. During this festival, devotees fast, pray and perform traditional rituals. The nine days of the festival are dedicated to nine different forms of the Goddess and each day is devoted to worshipping a different form. On the ninth day, the Goddess is worshipped in her full form. Chaitra Navratri is celebrated with much enthusiasm across India and is a joyous occasion for Hindus.

The festival is celebrated to honor the nine forms of Goddess Durga and her various powers and accomplishments. During the first three days of the festival, the Goddess is worshiped in her form of Shailaputri, Brahmacharini, and Chandraghanta.
