8 'Bathukamma' festival of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana:-
In Andhra Pradesh, Navratri is celebrated as 'Bathukamma Panduga'. This means 'Come alive Mother Goddess' here Navratri is dedicated to Mata Gauri and the idol of the Goddess is installed in a pile of flowers called Bathukamma.

Different styles:-
Generally, everyone has a different style of celebrating Navratri, but this festival is very close to the heart of every Indian. Where Ramlila is organized on Dussehra after Navratri in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, in other northeastern states including West Bengal, on this occasion, greetings are given by visiting a couple's house. It is such a belief that mutual love increases among people.
Worship of Shakti for Rajas, Tamas, and Sattva qualities:-
The festival of Navratri is completely associated with the Goddess. Chamundi Mata is worshiped in the Dussehra fair of Karnataka. Whereas Durga Puja in West Bengal is similarly worshiped and worshiped in different forms of the Goddess across the country. But basically, the time of Navratri is associated with the worship of the Goddess or the worship of Shakti.
The nine days of Navratri are basically divided into three Gunas, rajas, tamas, and sattva. Which is also known as Triguna. The basis of the life of a living being is based on these three qualities. Without these three Gunas, rajas, tamas, and sattva, the existence of any living being is not possible. Even the existence of a molecule is not possible without these three properties.
Every molecule has some part or the other found in the energy, vibration, and nature of these three qualities or elements. If these three qualities or elements are not present then nothing can survive, it will disintegrate.
