Shardiya Navaratri 2026

Navaratri means “nine nights.” Each night honors a different form of Durga, the Divine Mother in Her warrior aspect, embodying qualities that guide and strengthen us on the spiritual path.

Reflecting on these nine forms can help us grow on our spiritual journey—from strength and grounding, through discipline and courage, to clarity, grace, and fulfillment. The festival concludes on the tenth day with Dussehra, the day of victory.
