Navaratri in India was really great and there are many stories to tell. 10 days of being surrounded with goddess mantras is certainly an interesting experience and one which has profound spiritual meaning. It is one of the great things about being in India, in person, for these yagyas. Just the sound of the mantras is enough, but to have that supplemented by all the pujas and homams, not to mention being able to visit the temples on a daily basis, is really fantastic.
