It is a happy augury that it is celebration time. The nine-day Navaratri festival is on from 8th October and concludes on 18th(the dates of Navaratri are determined according to lunar calender). All of us, honour our Mother Goddess in all her manifestations by keeping Kollu. It is a festival of worship, song and dance. Navaratri festival is flamboyant in Western India, Maharashtra and Gujarat with garba and dandiya raas. In West Bengals, it transforms to Durga Pooja. During Dassara, Mother Goddess is worshipped as Durga(who destroys all negative tendencies), Lakshmi (who bestows good virtues and fortunes) and Saraswathi (who confers wisdom and spiritual knowledge. Maha Navami is celebrated with gaiety and devotion. Our childhood days at Anavathil, Kochi, all of us go from one Brahmin home to another, to get a handful of hot hot chundal, when young girls render music/kirtanas/ragam, is a heart rendering scene. Past is always beautiful.
