Chaitra Navratri is a famous Hindu festival. This festival is celebrated for nine days. This festival dedicated to the nine forms of Maa Durga. Every day one form of Maa is worshiped. Therefore, nine deities are worshiped in this festival.

In this festival of Navratri, the two seasons meet. Navratri is celebrated twice a year. This festival is called Chaitra Navratri and Ashwin Navratri. Chaitra Navaratri falls during the months of March or April. Chaitra Navaratri is also known as Vasant Navaratri.

Ram Navami, the birthday of Lord Rama is usually on the ninth day during the Navratri festival. Hence Chaitra Navaratri is also known as Rama Navaratri.
