'Nava-ratri' literally means 'nine nights'. This festival is observed twice a year, once in the beginning of summer and again at the onset of winter.
During Navaratri, we invoke the energy aspect of God in the form of the universal mother, commonly referred to as 'Durga', which literally means the remover of miseries of life.
Navaratri is divided into sets of three days to adore different aspects of the supreme goddess. On the first three days, the Mother is invoked as powerful force called Durga in order to destroy all our impurities, vices and defects.
