Darwin, October 20: Today is Maha Navami, the ninth day of Sharadiya Durga Puja. Members of the Hindu community will observe the day through religious rituals and prayers. Devotees are expected to gather in large numbers at puja mandaps across the country. At the same time, as the moment to bid farewell to Goddess Durga draws near, a note of sadness will begin to resonate at the festive venues.

The prescribed Maha Navami puja and floral offerings will take place in the morning. In the evening, a grand Maha Aarti will be held in worship of the goddess. Devotees will offer prayers at her feet, seeking the well-being of their families, society and the country.

Earlier, Kumari Puja was performed on Maha Ashtami yesterday.

The Sharadiya Durga Puja festivities, which began with Maha Shashthi, will conclude tomorrow, Wednesday (October 21), on Bijoya Dashami. On this day, devotees will bid farewell to Goddess Durga through the immersion of her idols.
