Title could be sharannavaratri puuja, or Devi puuja in
Navaraatri which falls in the month of ashwiija shuddha day
01 thru day 10 both inclusive. The 10th day is called vijaya
dashami, which is auspicious for starting any new venture,
starting alphabets for children, learning new languages, music,
or for developing new(improved) relationship with
your husband or wife or children or office colleagues.
This puja falls on the ist day of the month of aashwiija -
generally Oct - - from 1st day till 10th day, being celebrated as
navaraatri and the tenth day as vijaya dashami. Navratri 2009
dates are from September 19 to September 27, 2009.
According to legend, Durga sat on the tip of a needle for nine
days, doing a severe penance to destroy the evil Asura
Mahisha. On the first three days, she meditated as Herself, the
next three days as Mahalakshmi and the last three days as
Sarasvati. This signifies progression from tamsik, to rajasik to
satvik and eventually obtaining liberation. The tenth day in
October is called vijayadasami to signify the victory on the
day of dasami.
Navaratri is celebrated four times a year. They are Ashada
Navaratri, the Sharada Navaratri, the Maha Navaratri and the
Vasantha Navaratri. Of these, the Sharada Navaratri of the
month of Puratashi and the Vasantha Navaratri of the
Vasantha kala are very important. If you refer to the agni
purana, then it is said that the Puratashi and Panguni
(in Tamil months) i.e. Asvin and Chaitra are like the two jaws
of Lord Yama. If one wants to escape the mouth of Yama,
then one should celebrate Navaratri on these two occassions.
A similar analogy is presented in the devi bhagavatam. Devi
bhagavatam also talks in detail on how one should
observe fasts, and how one should meditate/work on these
days.
It is a long tradition that one reads the devi-bhagavatam or the
devi mahatmyam (durga saptasati, 700 verses on Durga)
during this period.
Devi bhagavatam notes that Rama meditated and fasted for
nine days after Sita was kidnapped by Ravana. There are
numerous such incidents on how people's wishes were
granted. You can find much more details in devi bhagavatam.

Previous Night, think of the Goddess and mentally decide to

early morning keep the same thoughts of worshipping the
Goddess and take a head-bath (if possible an oil-bath). Have
some soothing Indian Music (Shehnai or sa.ntuur or sitaar or
naadasvaram - preferably any instrumental) going on in the
background till the puujaa begins. The music should be
pleasing (not too loud) for creating a serene mood. (Of course
people should be internally peaceful also!)
Wash Kalasha and fill it with clean water upto 3/4 of it. Cover
and place it near the altar. Observe Fast (if possible). Decorate
the front door, altar and the place near the altar. Invite your
relatives, friends (who have bhakti in the Goddess). Keep all
the things for puujaa ready, near the altar.

Normally, the arati is done just after
we chant the slokas for mahaa niraajana and
karpura deepa. All the devotees sing the arati
bhajan, while one by one each person comes
and gives arati. The arati plate normally has
5 small diyas (with cotton balls dipped in oil
and with a fine tiri -end). Some kumukum and
flowers should also be kept in the plate. The
arati is done at the puja altar, accompanied by
the ghanta (bell) and once everyone completes
the arati, we take it to the regular altar
(assuming these are different), show it there,
come back and offer arati to the bell. We also
offer kumkum and flowers to the bell, prostrate
and then offer the arati to the devotees.
Here, all pujas are attended by minimum 40 to
max 100+. So we have one or 2 aratis depending
on the size of the crowd. Since this takes a lot
of time, while the devotees offer the arati, the
people who are doing the puja complete all other
slokas upto the mantra pushpam. Once the arati is
over we chant the mantra pushpam after which
everybody offers akshata or flowers.
After the visarjana puja, we offer a karpura arati
in a similar fashion.
