Chaitra Navratri is the spring nine-night festival of the Goddess, opening the lunar year and closing on Ram Navami. It is the quieter twin of the autumn Sharad Navratri, kept more as fasting and recitation than as public celebration.
Ghatasthapana — the installing of a pot and the sowing of barley — begins the nine days. Devotees fast, read the Durga Saptashati, and honour a different form of the Goddess on each night.
