One of the biggest Hindu festivals in India, Navratri is commemorated with great pomp and show in many parts of the world. Given the massive presence of Indians here, Navratri celebrations have become an integral part of the culture of Singapore as well.
Based on Indian mythology, Navratri celebrations signify the nine days during which Lord Rama fought with the evil Ravana. Dussehra is the festival that falls on the tenth day of Navratri celebrations. On this day, Ravana was finally killed by Rama, signifying the victory of good over evil.
Special prayers and decorations are part of Navratri celebrations. In north India, most devotees feast on all nine days, eating only certain special food items after evening prayers.
For many, Navratri is the festival where one offers prayers to the nine main Hindu goddesses. The end of Navratri celebrations is commemorated by a 'Kanjak Puja', wherein women of a household invite little girls for a special feast in the morning. Members of the family seek blessings from these girls, who are believed to symbolize the goddesses.
Businessmen consider Navratri to be the best time to undertake new ventures. Navratri celebrations in Singapore are as extravagant an affair as they are in India. Indians away from their homeland do not miss out on any opportunity of going back to their roots and remembering their culture.
Navratri celebrations in Singapore witness massive participation amongst Indians. During this period, grandeur and opulence seen in Indian markets and households, especially in Little India, Singapore is incredible.
Indian restaurants in Singapore offer special menus, including the special food of Navratri to their Indian customers. Navratri celebrations are the time when tourist inflow in Little India, a major Singapore tourist destination, reaches its pinnacle.
