Message from Panditji, Shri Surendra Mishra:

Golf Tournament

Chaitra Navratri is nine days festivity which starts on the first day of Hindu Luni-Solar

calendar and falls in the month of March or April. Chaitra is the first month of Hindu

lunar calendar and because of it this Navratri is known as Chaitra Navratri. Chaitra

Navratri is also known as Vasanta Navratri. Ram Navmi the birthday of Lord Rama

usually falls on the ninth day during Navratri festivity. Hence Chaitra Navratri is also

known as Rama Navratri.

All nine days during Navratri are dedicated to nine forms of Goddess Shakti. Most

customs and rituals followed during Shardiya Navratri which falls in the month of

September or October, are also followed during Chaitra Navratri. Ghatasthapana pooja

Vidhi for Shardiya Navratri and Chaitra Navratri is same.
