Preparations have gathered pace at temples across Hathras as Sharadiya Navratri is set to begin tomorrow. The nine-day festival is being welcomed with arrangements at Mata Rani temples in Hathras city, while devotees are showing considerable enthusiasm for the celebrations.

Cleaning and decoration work is underway at the temples. Arrangements are also being made for prayers and other religious rituals ahead of the start of Navratri. With the festival approaching, the temples are being prepared to welcome devotees seeking the blessings of Mata Rani.

During the nine days of Navratri, the nine forms of Maa Durga are worshipped according to religious rituals. Devotees also install Mata Rani in their homes and conduct prayers throughout the festival. Every day, they perform agyaari and remember the goddess as part of their worship.

After this, devotees visit temples, perform jalabhishek and seek darshan of Mata Rani. They pray for happiness, prosperity and the well-being of their families. These worship rituals will continue during the nine-day festival.

A large crowd of devotees is expected at the city’s major Devi temples from the morning during Navratri. Devotees will observe fasts throughout all nine days and worship Maa Durga.

With the arrival of Navratri, a devotional atmosphere has started taking shape in Hathras. Preparations are also underway for the chants of “Mata Rani” to echo across the city during the festival.
