More on Navratri
What is Navratri?
Navratri (“nine nights”) is a major festival honoring Goddess Durga in her nine forms (Nava Durga). Sharad Navratri in Ashwin month is the most widely celebrated; Chaitra Navratri occurs in spring.
Dates are determined from local panchang — especially the lunar month and tithi at sunrise — so the civil calendar start day is computed for your city above.
Fasting, colours, and puja
Many devotees fast for nine days, avoid grains, and offer daily puja to the goddess of the day. Colour-of-the-day traditions vary by region; see our Navratri colours page for the common nine-day sequence.
