Chaitra Navratri 2025: Dates, Significance, and Puja Rituals
Chaitra Navratri is a nine-day auspicious festival of the Goddess Durga that also serves as a time to commemorate new beginnings. The commencement of Navratri, which usually occurs in March or April in preparation for the Spring season, celebrates the first day of the Shukla Paksha in the Chaitra month. The worship of the nine goddess forms - Ma Shailputri, Ma Brahmacharini, Ma Chandraghanta, Ma Kushmanda, Ma Skandamata, Ma Katyayani, Ma Kaalratri, Ma Mahagauri, and Ma Siddhidatri - adds to the auspiciousness of the days. Throughout the days, individuals fast and pray for wealth and well-being. Along with prayers, Garba and Dandiya dances form a part of the cultural festivities held during this festival.
