Durga Puja and Navarati are important Hindu festivals, and celebrate the triumph of good over evil. During this time, Hindus worship Durga, Lakshmi, and Saraswati.

General practices: Durga is the mother goddess, and so Hindus try to visit their mothers and other relatives during this time. Some Hindus will pray and fast, and there are often feasts and dances. Durga Puja has been inscribed on the intangible cultural heritage list of UNESCO in December 2021.
