Chaitra Navratri marks the beginning of the Hindu New Year in many traditions. It celebrates the nine divine forms of Maa Durga, who restores balance, removes negativity, and blesses devotees with strength, purity, courage, and prosperity.

This is the Navratri of Vasant Ritu (spring season), symbolising new beginnings, upliftment, and cleansing of the mind, body, and energy field.

At Shree Navgrah Mandir, Chaitra Navratri Puja is performed before the sacred form of Maa Durga, invoking her nine manifestations (Navadurga) across nine auspicious days.
