29-12-2021 • 9 mins

"When Devi Comes Home" is the evocative byline of the book which describes in considerable detail how Navaratri- one of the most important of festivals in Hinduism- is celebrated all over India. While there are some things in common in these celebrations all over the country, the book highlights some things that are unique to the celebrations in a particular region. From Kashmir in the North to Kerala in the South, from Gujarat in the West to West Bengal in the East, the celebrations for Navaratri in each of these regions is depicted in considerable detail. We also get to know about other elements of the celebrations such as food, customs, and traditions.
