What the day is

Nine nights of Devi, three each for Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswati — the personality rebuilt in three movements: what must be fought, what must be gathered, what must be understood.

How to keep Sharada Navaratri

One act for the day

One practice, all nine nights, unbroken. On day nine, feed and honour young girls — that is the tradition's own instruction and it is not symbolic.

The day is chosen by the moment the tradition reads its tithi at, and the times are that day's own, computed for this city. A festival-specific puja window is not printed: those rules differ by tradition and await a scholar's review.
