Why Celebrate Navratri in Rishikesh?
Navratri, or the nine sacred days, is much more than just prayers and abstinence from food (fasting). It is a celebration of the divine feminine and an opportunity for participants to come together and connect with their inner strength and power.
According to Hinduism, Maa Durga represents the ultimate feminine power and her 9 avatars embody different aspects of strength, courage, and resilience. During Navratri, participants have the chance to tap into this inner power and awaken inner awareness and spiritual energy.
Ekattva Yogshala’s Navratri retreat will not only give them a chance to delve into their inner being but also let them embrace spiritual growth and self-discovery. It is a perfect program for women to embark on a voyage of self-discovery and evolution.
To be conducted in Rishikesh, our Navratri yoga celebration program is a 9-day body and mind cleanser that can be joined by participants of all genders and age groups. It brings the Shakti yoga, mantra chanting, sacred integration, fire rituals, water rituals, and Shakti Peeth pigrimage, all of which can help in bringing out the best in you!

#2 Daily morning and evening prayer sessions
Doctors who have studied the physiological effects of prayer have reported that prayer reduces stress as well as promotes feelings of control and peace of mind. It causes heart rate and blood pressure to decrease and regulates breathing. During the Navratri yoga retreat in Rishikesh, each day will start and end with a heartfelt prayer session where participants can release their worries and say thanks to Goddess Durga for their blessings.
Our morning prayers will invigorate the mind and body while the evening prayers will assist in bringing peace and tranquility to end the day.
#3 Complete mental detox
At Ekattva Yogshala in Rishikesh, we believe the process of detoxification is a crucial step in the journey of self-discovery and re-awakening. The reason why we have integrated kriya, pranayama, vrat bhojan, mantra sadhana, discourse, and bhajan is to give a complete mental and physical detox to the participants.
Chanting and kriya will help in reducing stress, calming the mind, and improving overall physical health whereas vrat bhojan (fast food) will help with purifying the body and maintaining a balanced diet.
Fire and water ritual sessions will help participants reduce tension and enhance blood circulation and energy levels, whereas discourse and bhajan will deepen their connection with the divine, allowing them to tap into their inner strength and grace.
#4 Visit temples
One of the major highlights of our Navratri yoga retreat. Rishikesh becomes a vibrant and festive city during Navratri. And holy temples, well, visiting them during this period is an experience like no other. They get decorated beautifully with flowers and lights, generating a serene and peaceful atmosphere.
The energy in the air is also filled with positivity and devotion. During the program, our participants will get the opportunity to visit some of the most revered temples in the yoga capital of the world. They will be able to immerse themselves in the spiritual energy of Rishikesh which will further enhance their overall experience.

#5 Navratri udyapan ceremony
The Navratri Udyapan ceremony is another important highlight of Ekattva Yogshala’s yoga celebration retreat. It marks the end of the 9-day festival and is celebrated with great fervor and devotion. The Udyapan ceremony is all about offering gratitude and saying goodbye to Maa Durga who graces us with her presence during the Navratri festival.
This ceremony symbolizes the victory of good over evil and reinforces the message of hope and positivity in our lives. Becoming a part of this traditional and meaningful rite will leave a lasting impression and create memories to cherish.
