Read Explanation:

• 1. Contextual Usage: The sentence refers to a period of time: "Navaratri." In English, when we describe an event or a process that happens throughout a specific timeframe or festival, we use the preposition "during." 2. Logical Fit: The phrase "worshipped during Navaratri" indicates that the act of worship takes place within the duration of the nine-night festival. It answers the question "When is she worshipped?"
