ʻO Navratri, aiʻole "ʻeiwa mau pō",ʻo ia kaʻahaʻaina Hindu kaulana loa i hoʻolaʻaʻia no ke akua wahineʻo Durga. Hōʻike ia i ka maʻemaʻe a me ka ikaika, i kapa ʻia ʻo "shaky". ʻO ka ʻahaʻaina Navratri ka puja (pule) a me ka hoʻokē ʻai, a ukali ʻia e ka hoʻolauleʻa nani no ʻeiwa mau lā a me nā pō. Hoʻolauleʻa ʻia ʻo Navratri ma India e like me ka kalena lunar a hāʻule i ka lā Malaki-ʻApelila i ka wā e kū ai ʻo Chaitra Navratri a me Kepakemapa-ʻOkakopa i ka wā e hoʻolauleʻa ai ʻo Sharad Navratri.

ʻO ka hui pū ʻana i nā kumuhana hoʻomana a me ka moʻomeheu, holo nā hoʻolauleʻa Navratri i nā mele a me ka hula ʻāina. ʻO ke kikowaena o Navratri ka mokuʻāina ʻo Gujarat, kahi e pau ʻole ai ka hula a me ka leʻaleʻa i nā pō ʻeiwa. Hoʻokumu ʻia ka hula Garba mai nā oli a Krishna, hoʻohana nā gopis (nā kaikamahine kahu bipi) i nā lāʻau lāʻau lahilahi.
