Spelling issue on Navaratri

Latest comment: 4 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Well the original and commonly used spelling is Navratri which translates from नवरात्री

But maybe in English this is written as Navaratri only and also Navadurga which is actually Navdurga.

I have seen here is quote cited next to Navaratri (in bold) about 'also spelled as' but being "Navratri" being excessively used everywhere especially in hashtags all across social media. So I want to mention "Navratri" also next to Navaratri. Like this Navaratri or Navratri/Navaratri or notably known or spelled as Navratri.

The spelling used is the correct transliteration of the Devanagari name (though your ending of long i is wrong). That is how the WP:RS spell it.^[1] -- Kautilya3 (talk) 10:25, 4 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

In Regional Section of Gujarat (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navaratri#Gujarat), change this: "The garbo pot is perforated with numerous holes and a diya or lamp is lit inside." To this: Traditional Garba pots often contain 27 holes arranged in three rows of nine, symbolizing the 27 Nakshatras, with the total of 108 associated with the four Charans of each Nakshatra. The garba holes importance: 27 holes in the garba.
