Sentence needs clarification
editUnder Garbha, I do not understand exactly what is meant by this sentence:
A Hindu religious, traditional festival of goddess of power — Amba or Durga for the first nine nights of the month Ashwin of the Vikram year.
It appears to be an incomplete sentence to me. I think it needs clarification.
Cleaning up
editI noticed that a lot of room for improvement on this page, especially grammatically and stylistically. I'm going to be spending some time researching and editing the article to polish it up. Feel free to help if you want! Raps19 (talk) 06:09, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
Spelling issue on Navaratri
editWell the original and commonly used spelling is Navratri which translates from नवरात्री
But maybe in English this is written as Navaratri only and also Navadurga which is actually Navdurga.
I have seen here is quote cited next to Navaratri (in bold) about 'also spelled as' but being "Navratri" being excessively used everywhere especially in hashtags all across social media. So I want to mention "Navratri" also next to Navaratri. Like this Navaratri or Navratri/Navaratri or notably known or spelled as Navratri.

- The spelling used is the correct transliteration of the Devanagari name (though your ending of long i is wrong). That is how the WP:RS spell it.[1] -- Kautilya3 (talk) 10:25, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
