TV9 Festival of India 2024: Maha Ashtami celebrations, bhog aarti, and Dandiya night

New Delhi: The TV9 Festival of India is in full swing at Delhi’s Major Dhyan Chand Stadium, marking the vibrant spirit of Navratri. Today, Friday, October 11, is the third day of this magnificent celebration, and the festivities are centred around the auspicious occasion of Maha Ashtami, with key events like Sandhi Puja and Bhog Aarti.

Maha Ashtami holds a significant place for devotees, as it is the day when the sacred Sandhi Puja is performed. This ritual marks the transition between the end of Ashtami (eighth day) and the beginning of Navami (ninth day) during Navratri.
