Navratri is typically 9 nights of festival but in Canada we prefer to celebrate 1-2 nights or evenings. It is celebrated differently in India’s various regions and is a time for dancing and feasting. Typically, the festival’s nine nights are dedicated to different aspects of the divine feminine principle. This year, Belleville International have planned a huge celebration. We have invited a famous group of 15 people who are well known for their traditional musical equipment and folk singing, they usually travel the world to perform and this year we have invited them to Belleville. Hardik and team will be there to explain about the festival, food and everything if needed. Everyone is wearing our own traditional clothes which will be very colourful and it will be a breathtaking experience for you. Free food with the purchase of a ticket. Registration is open to everyone. Link to Register : https://www.eventbrite.com/e/belleville-navratri-2022-famous-live-singers-orchestra-tickets-400522532677

That would give me the ability to hire an Indigenous photographer for their session ($50), as well as offer them an honourarium for their time and energy. ($50).”
