The Center for the Arts (CFA) at Wesleyan University has celebrated the nine-day Hindu festival of Navaratri annually for more than 40 years, with 3-4 days of music and dance (and sometimes feasting). (This year, the festival is Oct 17, 2020 – Oct 26, 2020) Although they already celebrated the festival this year, in early October, there are some posts with curated playlists on the CFA blog:

Listen to the “Music of India for Wesleyan Navarati” Spotify playlist by Joseph Getter MA ’99.
