navratra

Navratra is one big hindu festival in India. Goddess Durga is worshiped for nine days at public places and then the idol in drawned in the river water. (I don't konw proper word for visarjan so i am writting drawnning, can anybody help?). The atmosphere of this festival is worth watching. this year I spent two hours near a river where about hundred idols were brought on trucks, trollies and other vehicles. On came back home with a feeling that there are still so many traditions that bring thousands and lacks of people together.
