Chaitra Navratri 2025: Along with the worship of Adishakti, the festival of Chaitra Navratri is also special for these reasons:

Chaitra Navratri begins from the Pratipada date of the Shukla Paksha of Chaitra month, which is going to start from March 30 this year. This period is completely dedicated to Jagat Janani Adishakti Maa Durga and during this time her different forms are worshiped.

According to mythology, Goddess Durga fought with a demon named Mahishasur in 9 different forms for 9 days and killed the demon. But apart from this, there are many other reasons that make Chaitra Navratri special. Let's know about it.

These festivals are celebrated

According to the Hindu calendar, the Pratipada date of the Shukla Paksha of Chaitra month marks the beginning of Chaitra Navratri, which is also the beginning of the Hindu New Year. In Maharashtra, the first day of Chaitra Navratri is celebrated as Gudi Padwa, while in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka it is known as Ugadi. Thus, the calculation of the New Year's calendar starts from Chaitra Navratri.

On the last day of Chaitra Navratri, i.e. on the ninth day, the festival of Ramnavami is also celebrated, which is considered to be the birth date of Lord Rama. Due to the occurrence of these important festivals, the period of Chaitra Navratri becomes very special. The period of Chaitra Navratri is considered very auspicious for the fulfillment of spiritual desires.

These are also the reasons

The period of Chaitra Navratri is also considered very important from the point of view of astrology, because after Chaitra Navratri, the Sun changes its zodiac sign. This is the time when the Sun God completes his journey through the 12 zodiac signs and again enters the first zodiac sign Aries. The period of Chaitra Navratri is also seen as a change of season. This is the time when winter ends completely and summer begins.
