Navratri means ‘nine nights’, ‘nava’ meaning nine and ‘ratri’ meaning nights. “Navaratri is a celebration of woman power, a festival of women, for women and by women.”
The Garba brings out women from the confines of their home and hearth and lets them have a well-deserved break, sanctioned by religion, in an otherwise male-dominated society. When goddess Durga stands out majestically alone, separated from her consort Siva, she is demonstrating that a woman is a man's better half, she is capable of having her own identity, separate from a man.
