Sharadiya Navratri this year will commence on Monday, September 22, 2025. The final two days of the festival, Maha Ashtami and Maha Navami, are considered the most auspicious for worshipping Goddess Durga. This year, Maha Ashtami falls on September 30, while Maha Navami will be observed on October 1, 2025. Here are the key timings for puja and visarjan rituals.

According to the Devi Purana, when Navratri begins on a Monday, Goddess Durga descends to Earth riding an elephant, a vehicle regarded as highly auspicious. This is believed to bring prosperity, happiness, and abundance during the nine days of worship.

Alternative Worship For Devotees

For devotees unable to observe fasts or perform special puja on Ashtami or Navami, it is advised to engage in acts of charity. Offering study materials, clothes, food grains, cosmetics, or money to young girls is believed to hold equal spiritual significance. Such donations are said to bring blessings equivalent to performing the nine days of Navratri rituals.
