Title could be sharannavaratri puuja, or Devi puuja in Navaraatri which falls in the month of ashwiija shuddha day01 thru day 10 both inclusive. The 10th day is called vijayadashami, which is auspicious for starting any new venture,starting alphabets for children, learning new languages, music,or for developing new(improved) relationship withyour husband or wife or children or office colleagues.This puja falls on the ist day of the month of aashwiija -generally Oct - - from 1st day till 10th day, being celebrated asnavaraatri and the tenth day as vijaya dashami. Navratri 2009dates are from September 19 to September 27, 2009.According to legend, Durga sat on the tip of a needle for ninedays, doing a severe penance to destroy the evil AsuraMahisha. On the first three days, she meditated as Herself, thenext three days as Mahalakshmi and the last three days asSarasvati. This signifies progression from tamsik, to rajasik tosatvik and eventually obtaining liberation. The tenth day inOctober is called vijayadasami to signify the victory on theday of dasami. Navaratri is celebrated four times a year. They are Ashada Navaratri, the Sharada Navaratri, the Maha Navaratri and theVasantha Navaratri. Of these, the Sharada Navaratri of themonth of Puratashi and the Vasantha Navaratri of theVasantha kala are very important. If you refer to the agni purana, then it is said that the Puratashi and Panguni(in Tamil months) i.e. Asvin and Chaitra are like the two jawsof Lord Yama. If one wants to escape the mouth of Yama,then one should celebrate Navaratri on these two occassions.A similar analogy is presented in the devi bhagavatam. Devi bhagavatam also talks in detail on how one shouldobserve fasts, and how one should meditate/work on thesedays.It is a long tradition that one reads the devi-bhagavatam or thedevi mahatmyam (durga saptasati, 700 verses on Durga)during this period.Devi bhagavatam notes that Rama meditated and fasted for nine days after Sita was kidnapped by Ravana. There arenumerous such incidents on how people's wishes weregranted. You can find much more details in devi bhagavatam.
