About Sharad Navratri

11–19 October 2026

Sharad Navratri is the autumn Navratri dedicated to Goddess Durga and the Navadurga forms of Shakti. Over nine nights, devotees perform Ghatasthapana, daily puja, fasting according to capacity, and celebrations that range from quiet home worship to Garba and Durga Puja. The festival embodies courage, devotion, and the triumph of divine feminine energy. Families invite the Goddess into the home, offer bhog, and conclude with Ashtami, Navami, and Vijayadashami traditions that vary by region. On Madhuma you will find festival essentials—incense, diyas, and puja items—chosen so your Sharad Navratri observance feels ready and respectful.

Sharad Navratri (Shardiya Navratri) is the autumn nine-night festival dedicated to Goddess Durga and the Navadurga forms of Shakti, beginning with Ghatasthapana.

Ghatasthapana is the inaugural ritual that establishes the kalash and sacred space for Devi worship at the start of Navratri. Exact muhurat depends on your local Panchang.

No. Although Garba is a major social celebration, it remains a ritualistic and devotional tradition connected with Navratri and worship of Shakti.

They overlap in season and centre on Devi, but Bengali Durga Puja has distinctive rituals, clay images, pandals, and cultural forms that differ from many Navratri home observances.

Keep a clean altar, perform Ghatasthapana if that is your custom, offer daily puja with incense and flowers, follow a fasting style that suits you, and conclude with Ashtami/Navami traditions your family knows.

Start dates and muhurat change yearly. Keep this page evergreen for meaning and preparation; use Madhuma blogs or a trusted Panchang for the current year’s calendar.
