The reasons why navratri is celebrated twice in a year are below:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"> Seasonal Connection<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The primary reason why Navratri is celebrated twice in a year (and actually four times) lies in its deep connection to the change of seasons. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">These four periods of Navratri coincide with the natural transitional phases of the year, particularly the beginning of spring and autumn.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Ancient Hindu texts recognised that these seasonal shifts often bring changes in weather that can affect human health and energy levels. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">It&#8217;s believed that during these transitional periods, the body&#8217;s immunity might be lower, making it a good time for spiritual practices like fasting, meditation, and prayer to cleanse the body and mind.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">This time is also seen as a powerful time when cosmic energies are highly potent. Worshipping the Divine Mother during these specific periods helps balance these energies and protects devotees from any negative influences associated with seasonal changes.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Also Read: <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/instaastro.com\/festivals\/navratri\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Nine Goddesses Of Navratri<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 14pt;\"><b>2.
