4 celebrated temples

There are 4 Navaratris each year (9 nights of Mother Divine). A time of cleansing, purification and evolution throughout the whole of nature, during this time, the wholeness of life rises to purge the lower, fragmented, imperfect values of natural law. In Vedic Literature, it's depicted as the time when Shakti (quintessential power of the universe), champion of the gods, is victorious over demons (lower, fragmented forces of nature). A time for light to triumph over darkness, the river floods and stagnant pools are washed away. It's an opportunity to purify, revitalize and realign our lives: to get back on track and realize our goals and aspirations.

* Durga Saptashati (700 Mantras invoking Mother Divine) is the central text and heart of Navaratri Yagya
* Magha refers to the Lunar Month which inturn refers to the Nakshatra in which the full moon occurs
