Festivals/Rituals celebrated twice a year

[Aupmanyav]

Hindus celebrate Navratra twice in a year, in Spring and in autumn. Similarly Rama Navami and Hanuman Jayanti are celebrated twice.
No problem, more fun, why not?
Also 'Shraaddha Paksha' rituals (Remembrance of ancestors) also are conducted twice a year.

Is there any kind of marking of the summer and winter Navaratri?

I suppose there are transformations of harvest festivals. Navratri and Shraddha Paksha in autumn are considered sort of 'main'. I hope some other member can add something on it. No difference ritually.

I also remember Sri Krishna Rasayatra, one in spring one in autumn

There are, technically, 4 Navaratris. Only the spring and autumn festivals are widely celebrated with the autumn festival being the biggest.
