A long time overdue rise of women empowerment is currently rife all over the world! And we as a nation that reveres its female deities are emerging as winners. Synonymous to fierce devis and unforgiving women goddesses that we read in books, today’s modern women are stepping forward and shattering age-old bans of entering temples while on menstruation and making their voices heard with the #metoo movement.

Are these women the embodiment of those unscathed devis? We think they are and so in testimony, we are applauding them this Navratri with the 9 different roles they essay.
