New Delhi [India], October 18 (ANI): A special morning puja and 'aarti' were performed at Delhi's Jhandewalan temple on Wednesday to mark the fourth day of Navratri.
The temple priests conducted a special puja as a large number of devotees gathered to catch a glimpse of the goddess Aadi Shakti.
The morning 'aarti' was also performed at Mumbai's Mumba Devi temple. 
Devotees arrived at the temple to participate in the morning 'aarti.'
On the fourth day of Navratri, people worship goddess Kushmanda which infuses devotees with cosmic energy and vitality.
Her role as the creator of the universe is a reminder of the significance of life.
The 9-day-long festival of Shardiya Navratri is intended for worshipping Maa Durga and her nine avatars, known as Navdurga. Navratri means 'nine nights' in Sanskrit. Hindus observe a total of four Navratris throughout the year.
From Ashwin Shukla Paksha's Navami until the Pratipada, Shardiya Navratri is observed. While it is celebrated with great fanfare across the nation, distinct traditions are more commonly practised in different states.
In India, Navratri is celebrated in a wide range of ways. Ramlila, a celebration in which scenes from the Ramayana are performed, is organised in various parts of the country. The burning of King Ravana's effigies marks the story's conclusion on Vijayadashami. (ANI)
