The main holidays in honor of Durga are celebrated in spring and autumn; under the name Durga Puja and Durgotsawa, they make up the most important part of Navaratri (a celebration system dedicated primarily to Durga). In holiday rituals, people try to propitiate the formidable goddess and enlist her patronage; also, they worship members of her family. For offerings to Durga, believers use Neem tree leaves, turmeric, sandalwood paste, milk (sometimes with butter and/or salt, for watering a statue of goddess), and lemons. As mala, small lemons or turmeric root are used; also Rudraksha, sometimes mixed with pearls, is often used. Mala is often worn around the neck of the statue of the goddess, along with a garland of Neem leaves.
