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.
The festival is the same for everyone. The sky over it is not. Enter your birth details to see where Chaitra Navratri’s presiding graha stands in your chart that day.
