In a Raj Bhavan statement, Rosaiah conveyed his "heartiest greetings and best wishes" to the people of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and those living elsewhere.
"May this festival rekindle in us the spirit of dedication and devotion in our profession, promote knowledge, wisdom, peace, progress and prosperity in the country," he said.
In her greetings, Jayalalithaa recalled that the nine-day Navarathri festival is equally divided in three days for each of the Goddesses--Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswathi.
