It should not come as a surprise that former Pakistan cricketer Kaneria is celebrating a Hindu festival. He is a Hindu and has been always vocal about it. Kaneria has faced the heat from fans for supporting India time and again.

Why Navratri Celebrated:

To celebrate the divine feminine: Navratri is a celebration of the goddess Durga, who is the embodiment of Shakti, or divine feminine power. The nine forms of Durga worshipped during Navratri represent different aspects of the feminine principle, such as creation, preservation, and destruction.

To commemorate the victory of good over evil: The most well-known legend associated with Navratri is the story of Durga’s battle with the demon Mahishasura. Mahishasura had been granted a boon that made him invincible to men, gods, and animals. However, Durga was able to defeat him by taking on the form of a powerful warrior goddess. Durga’s victory over Mahishasura is seen as a symbolic representation of the triumph of good over evil.

To mark the beginning of the autumn season: Navratri coincides with the beginning of the autumn season in India. This is a time of transition, as the monsoon rains come to an end and the days start to get shorter. Navratri is seen as a time to celebrate the changing seasons and to prepare for the coming winter.
To seek blessings for the year ahead: Many Hindus believe that Navratri is an auspicious time to start new ventures and to seek blessings for the year ahead. Devotees offer prayers to the goddess Durga for guidance, protection, and prosperity.

To come together as a community: Navratri is a time for people to come together and celebrate. Families and friends gather to perform rituals, eat festive foods, and participate in cultural events. Navratri is a time for joy, laughter, and togetherness.

In short, Navratri is a multifaceted festival that is celebrated for both religious and cultural reasons. It is a time to honor the divine feminine, to celebrate the victory of good over evil, to mark the changing seasons, to seek blessings for the year ahead, and to come together as a community.
