These are available in various designs and sizes. For an easy Navratri decoration at home, choose ready-made mandaps.
Mandaps or pandals house the goddess for the nine days of the festival, making it an integral part of the decorations. We have compiled a few ideas for Navratri decoration that will reflect the joy and zeal this festival incites in us. The celebrations peak with the folk dances Garba and dandiya at the end of each day. And in the west, particularly in Gujarat, people worship Garba pots as manifestations of the goddess. In the southern regions, the celebrations are marked by Kolu decorations. In the east, the festival is celebrated as Durga puja with lavish pandals on every block and magnificent aartis. In the north, you see theatre-like set-ups depicting ram-leela with the death of Ravana effigy on Dussehra as the climax. Navratri is celebrated in diverse ways across the country. It culminates in Vijayadashami or Dussehra, the day Lord Ram defeated Ravana. This nine-day festival is dedicated to the goddess Durga and her various avatars as the defeater of the demon Mahishasur. But it is during the latter that the whole country celebrates it with unparalleled enthusiasm. Navratri, or the festival of nine nights, is celebrated twice per Hindu calendar- in the month of Chaitra and then in the month of Sharad.
