**New Delhi, India** – October 3rd, 2024, marks the beginning of Navratri, a nine-day Hindu festival, under the auspicious ‘Hast’ Nakshatra. This star, known for its influence on art and skill, promises a surge in creative energy during the festivities.

According to the Hindu Panchang, the day falls on a Thursday, with the ‘Pratipada’ tithi of the Shukla Paksha in the Ashwin month.
