What is Durga Ashtami?

Durga Ashtami, or Maha Ashtami, marks the eighth day of the nine-day Navratri festival. People across India celebrate it with deep devotion, considering it one of the most sacred and important days. On this day, devotees worship Goddess Mahagauri, who symbolises divine energy and strength.
