Chaitra Navratri has special significance for the people of Sanatan Dharma. The festival of Navratri is celebrated for 9 days, during which 9 forms of Goddess Durga are worshiped. According to Vedic almanac, Navratri festival is starting from 30 March 2025 this year. According to religious beliefs, when Maa Durga comes to earth for 9 days, she rides on a special vehicle. The Devi will come on the basis of the first day of Navratri. That is why every year the mother’s ride changes.
At the same time, according to the day Navratri ends, the departure ride of the mother is fixed. This ride gives both auspicious and inauspicious signs, which affects the life of a person throughout the year. Let us know about the relationship between Maa Durga and the relationship between the day.
