Sharad Navratri — what it is

During Sharad Navratri the nine forms of Goddess Durga are worshipped over nine days. Devotees fast, install the ghata and perform kanya puja on Ashtami or Navami. Vijayadashami follows on the tenth day.

Tithi: From Ashwin Shukla Pratipada to Navami, nine nights. Ghatasthapana is done on Pratipada.

Things to keep in mind

This is the start date of Navratri. When Pratipada does not hold at sunrise and ends within the same day (as in 2027), panchangs can differ on the Ghatasthapana date, so confirm with your local panchang.
