Navratri 2025 – Divine Energy & Gemstone Guidance
Navaratri (Sanskrit: Navarātri, “nine nights”) is one of the most celebrated Hindu festivals, dedicated to Goddess Durga, the embodiment of Adi Parashakti – the supreme feminine power.
In 2025, Sharada Navaratri will be observed from September 22 to October 2, culminating with Vijayadashami (Dussehra).
Over these nine sacred nights, devotees honour the nine forms of Maa Durga—Shailputri, Brahmacharini, Chandraghanta, Kushmanda, Skandamata, Katyayani, Kalaratri, Mahagauri, and Siddhidatri. Each day carries a distinct colour and symbolism, reflecting qualities such as purity, wisdom, courage, protection, love, and spiritual awakening.
The festival is celebrated differently across India:
- In some regions, it marks the end of the monsoon and the autumn harvest.
- In others, it signifies renewal, devotion, and divine alignment with cosmic energies.
- Universally, it is seen as a time of fasting, prayer, meditation, dance, and worship, all aimed at invoking the blessings of Maa Durga.
✨ Navaratri is more than a festival—it is a spiritual journey of transformation. By aligning with the nine divine forms, devotees seek prosperity, health, protection, and inner strength, while celebrating the eternal victory of good over evil.
