Chaitra Shukla Pratipada to Navami (nine nights) · Deity: Durga (Navadurga)
Wednesday, April 7, 2027
through Thursday, April 15, 2027
Panchang that morning (IST): Shukla Pratipada tithi · Revati pada 3 · Moon in Pisces
The spring Navratri opens the lunar year with nine nights of the Goddess, one form of Navadurga per night, culminating in Ram Navami. It mirrors the better-known autumn (Shardiya) Navratri but carries a more inward, austerity-focused character.
Ghatasthapana — installing the sacred pot — marks day one. Devotees keep full or partial fasts, recite the Durga Saptashati, and conclude with Kanya Pujan honoring nine young girls as the Goddess.
Fasting-friendly staples (sabudana, kuttu, fruit) are widely available in Indian groceries abroad; temple Ghatasthapana timings follow local sunrise.
