This title will look at some of the important festivals in Hinduism: Divali, Holi and Navaratri. Divali is a New Year festival which symbolises a fresh start and new beginnings. Divali means 'cluster of lights', and the festival is celebrated with masses of lights. Holi is a spring festival which is celebrated with mischief. People may choose to have water fights or spray people with paint to mark the occasion. Navaratri is a ten-day festival which is honoured by dancing. During the festival, goddesses such as Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswati are worshipped. In the main the festival is dedicated to the mother goddess Durga, as she contains the vigour of all the goddesses.
