Nav Shakti Peeth Yatra
The importance of women in the Hindu religion has always been stressed upon and there are several festivals in the year that are dedicated solely to the numerous Goddesses that the devout Hindu followers worship. Nav Shakti is the living embodiment of the nine goddesses in Hinduism who are considered the maker, preserver, and destroyer of this entire universe. Twice every year these 9 goddesses are celebrated across India in the form or Nav Ratri or "Nine nights". Spread across the entire Indian subcontinent, there are 51 holy shrines that are dedicated to these goddesses who are considered the embodiment of Shakti and visiting all of them is known as the Shakti Peeth Yatra. The word Shakti literally means power and denotes the supreme power that these deities are considered to hold over their devout followers. Going on the Nav Shakti Peeth Yatra is considered essential for the followers of the Shakta sect, and Hindus from all over the world visit these holy shrines to seek the blessings of the goddesses.
