The monthly new moon: the day for ancestral offerings â tarpana and where kept, shraddha. Mahalaya Amavasya in Ashvina is the year's principal one.

Sharada Navaratri
Nine nights of worship of the Goddess, concluding in Vijayadashami. What is actually done varies more by region than almost any other festival: a fast and a pot in the north, a five-day public Durga Puja in Bengal, a doll display in the south, garba in Gujarat.
