Chandra Darshan
The evening on which the new moon's crescent is first seen after Amavasya, low in the west shortly after sunset. Seeing it is held to be auspicious, and in many households the day's fast is broken only after the sighting.

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.
