Sharadiya Navratri 2021: Sharadiya Navratri will begin on Thursday, October 7, which will end on the 'Dashmi tithi' of October 15.
Sharadiya Navratri 2021: According to Hindi Panchang, Shardiya Navratri begins with the pratipada of Shukla paksha of Ashwin month and ends on the dashmi (tenth) tithi. According to the calendar year this time Sharadiya Navratri will start on October 7 and end on September 15. In Navratri, the nine forms of Mother Durga are worshipped with complete rituals. This pleases mother Durga very much. It is believed that worshipping and praying Mother Durga in Navratri showers blessing on her devotees and due to her blessing all the wishes of devotees are fulfilled. Wealth, prosperity, and happiness increases in the family and at home.
Navratri may last for 8 or 9 days due to frequent changes in dates.
