In his message, the Governor said Navratras have an added significance in Jammu and Kashmir as during this period the Vaishno Devi shrine attracts a large number of pilgrims from across the country.
The commencement of Navratras is also marked by the beginning of a grand festival at Katra, the base camp of Vaishno Devi, which showcases the glorious traditions of the composite cultural ethos of the state, Vohra said.
