DAYS OF SIGNIFICANCE
Chaitra Navratri (March 19-27)-Chaitra Navratri is a nine day festivity which starts on the first day of Hindu Luni-Solar calendar. This festival is dedicated to Mother Goddess Shakti and Goddess Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswati. Chanting of mantra, pujas, fasting and various rituals are part of the festivities. (Hinduism)
World Atheist Day-World Atheist Day, observed annually on March 23, is a day that focuses on those who do not believe in god. The term 'atheism' first emerged in medieval Europe more than 400 years ago and was used to describe those who rejected the thought of a higher power. In the present day, there are said to be over 4,000 religions in this world, and almost every one of them has associated festivals and observances. Although atheists do not believe in a God, they, too, chose a special day to be set aside, hence the creation of Atheist Day.
