Hindu festival to honour goddess Durga
Navaratri is an annual Hindu festival observed in honor of the goddess Durga, an aspect of Adi Parashakti, the supreme goddess. It spans over nine nights, first in the month of Chaitra, and again in the month of Ashvin (September–October). It is observed for different reasons and celebrated differently in various parts of the Hindu - Indian cultural sphere. Theoretically, there are four seasonal Navaratris. However, in practice, it is the post-monsoon autumn festival called Sharada Navaratri.

Hindu festival of lights
Dipavali, commonly known as Diwali, is the Hindu festival of lights, with variations celebrated in other Indian religions such as Jainism and Sikhism. It is associated with the spiritual victory or triumph of Dharma over Adharma, light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. Diwali is celebrated during the Hindu lunisolar months of Ashvin and Kārtika – between around mid-October and mid-November. The celebrations generally last five or six days.
