Namaste.

I am looking for information about this festival. So, I found just this:


"Shakambari Navratri is a nine-day Navaratri festival during which Goddess Shakambari Devi is worshipped. In 2009, Shakambari Navratri starts on December 25 and ends on December 31. Shakambari Navratri is observed during Paush month (begins on Paush Ashtami and ends on Paush Purnima day). The first day of Navratri is known as Shakambari Ashtami and the concluding day is Shakambari Purnima or Shakambari Jayanti."


I can`t understand. The festival starts 25 and ends on 31. This is 7 days.
In the description: "nine-day Navaratri festival".
Where is mistake?

Welcome to these forums. You are so fortunate to live in Varanasi. I've never been there but hopefully one day soon on pilgrimage, God Siva willing. I'm sorry I know nothing about this Navaratri. Hopefully some of the more learned members here can help you.
