Navratri Puja is the nine-night worship of the Divine Mother, observed twice a year in most households: Chaitra Navratri in spring and Sharad Navratri in autumn. Each day is dedicated to one of the Navadurga, the nine forms of Durga, from Shailputri on the first day to Siddhidatri on the ninth.
Panchganga Ghat lies on the northern part of Varanasi's riverfront. Its name is traditionally explained as the meeting place of five rivers, and it is one of the ghats pilgrims have long visited for a holy dip in Kashi.
