The dark fortnight of Aswayuja (September-October) is known as the Mahalaya Paksha or the fortnight specially sacred for offering oblations to the departed ancestors. The last day of this period, the new moon day, is considered as the most important day in the year for performing obsequies and rites.
Navarathri or the nine nights sacred to the Mother Goddess are celebrated in the month of September/October. It commemorates the victory of Goddess Durga over a demon, Mahishasur.
With Her grace, the mute, it is believed, have been able to speak and people have been blessed with the ability to write or compose poems. Musicians sing here and many even choose to perform here first. Apart from art and culture, Goddess Saraswati also showers Her blessings for the education of children.
