Ghat Sthapna marks the beginning of one of the most awaited festival of the year called as ‘Navaratra’. The 10 day festive season has always been celebrated with great enthusiasm and energy. With the beginning of Navaratra, the temperament of the people all around has changed. The city has transformed into a joyful state with the essence of devotion. The great and most loved ‘Dandiya’ will witness the end of the festival by ‘Dasherah’. All the arrangements are seen around the famous temple of Goddess located in the heart of the city.
