Navratri and Durga Puja: Nine Nights of Devotion

Each night of Navratri is dedicated to one of the nine forms of Goddess Durga: Shailaputri, Brahmacharini, Chandraghanta, Kushmanda, Skandamata, Katyayani, Kalaratri, Mahagauri, and Siddhidatri. Devotees observe fasts and perform pujas to seek blessings.

Ghatasthapana marks the beginning of Navratri when a kalash is installed. On the eighth or ninth day, Kanya Puja is performed to honor young girls as manifestations of the divine. Our pandits can conduct these rituals at your home.
