She is Durga, the Goddess that has immense Shakti for all victory over negative forces a strength, this starts and continues till the tenth day (Dasarah, or Desserah). Tenth day is also Navratum the compound experience. There are three main Goddesses and these consciousness are further broken down to individual names for each night. However, the main three that will be identified with are Durga, (Victory), Laxshmi (Wealth), Saraswati (Knowledge and Arts). Puja (worship) is done each night, with rituals and ceremonial practices.
