Meaning of Navratri

Devotees worship Goddess Durga with four Navratri fasts each year. The four Navratri fasts are named after the Hindu seasons / months in which they fall: Magha (winter), Chaitra (spring), Ashadha (monsoon) and Sharad (autumn). Among them, Sharad Navratri is the most prominent. For nine days, devotees observe the fast and participate in religious rituals such as reciting the Devi Mahatmyaham and performing puja.

According to Hindu tradition, the Goddess Durga was created by the combined powers of various divinities, including Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. With the powers instilled in her by the various  divinities, Durga defeated the devil Mahishasura. She is also worshiped as Mahishasuramardini.
