Navratri is the festival that is celebrated in honour of Goddess Durga. The occasion also honours the triumph of good over evil and is celebrated with pomp and style all over the country for nine days to honour the nine avatars of Goddess Durga. However, the festival is best celebrated in Kolkatta. Also, seen as a mark of Naari Shakti, it symbolises how after exploitation even the calm Goddess Parvati shed her composed nature and turned into Mahakaali, to end evil, thus establishing the fact that a woman only keeps quiet until she wants to and once her patience is tested, she does not back down. Sonam Kapoor Ahuja’s Floral Green Saree From House of Masaba Is the Perfect Inspo for Day 6 of Navratri 2019 (View Pics)
