Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday extended warm Navratri greetings to the nation, offering salutations at the feet of Devi Ma and seeking her blessings for the well being of all.
“Salutations and obeisance at the feet of Devi Ma! May we pray to her to remove all sorrows and infuse new vitality into our lives. May the blessings of Devi Mata bring welfare to all,” Modi said in a post on X.
Navratri, one of the most important festivals in the Hindu calendar, celebrates the divine feminine energy and the triumph of good over evil. Devotees worship the nine forms of Goddess Durga during the nine-day festival, seeking her blessings for prosperity, spiritual growth, and happiness.
The celebrations are marked by Garba and Dandiya Raas performances, elaborate puja ceremonies, and cultural events across the country.
The Prime Minister’s message underscores the cultural and spiritual essence of Navratri, as devotees across India gather to honor Devi Ma and seek her divine grace for renewal and well being.
