  All our religious festivals usually hold logical and scientific explanations. They are invariably beneficial for your physical, mental and spiritual health. Navratri is not an exception. It is associated with the equinox, the time of the year when days and nights are of equal duration. Equinoxes mark the transition period between two seasons.
