Birmingham: ‘Navratri festival brings my life’s best memories’

The Hindu festival Navratri brings nine nights of dance, food and prayer as the goddess Durga is honoured – but how does it feel to take part day after day?

In Birmingham, as in cities throughout the world, celebrations have been under way since last Thursday – you can read more about Navratri, its origins and traditions here.

When Saturday comes and marks the end of the festivities which have seen people of the Hindu faith come together to celebrate, Hardik Patel said he would be sad.

But the committee member at Birmingham Hindu Cultural Group, which has been hosting events, admitted it was also a bittersweet feeling. He had wanted, he said, to celebrate every day after work – because the festival, filled with happiness and friends, brought him the “best memories” of his life.
