Spring is here, and for me, that means Chaitra Navratri is just around the corner! This nine-day festival is all about welcoming Maa Durga into our lives, and I’m already excited for Chaitra Navratri in 2025.

What is Chaitra Navratri?
So, what is Chaitra Navratri? For me, it’s a fresh start. Celebrated in the Chaitra month (March-April), it’s when we honor Maa Durga’s nine forms, from Shailputri to Siddhidatri. The festival ends with Ram Navami, adding a beautiful touch to the journey. It’s a time to pray, reflect, and feel connected to the divine. Whether you’re in a bustling city or a quiet village, we at Panditjee Online are here to help you bring this tradition home.

Chaitra Navratri Puja Vidhi: How to Do It at Home
Doing the Chaitra Navratri puja vidhi at home is simpler than you think. Here’s how I love to set it up:
What You’ll Need:
- A clay pot and some soil
- Barley seeds (jau)
- A Kalash (metal or copper)
- Mango leaves and a coconut
- Red cloth, flowers, and a ghee lamp
- Maa Durga’s picture or idol
- Fruits and sweets for prasad
Steps to Follow:
- Get Ready: On March 30, wake up early, bathe, and clean your puja space—it sets the mood.
- Ghat Sthapna: Put soil in the pot, sow barley seeds, and fill the Kalash with water. Add mango leaves and top it with a coconut wrapped in red cloth.
- Light the Lamp: Light a ghee lamp and incense, then chant “Om Shailputryai Namah” to begin—it’s like the house wakes up with energy.
- Daily Prayers: Offer flowers and prasad to each form of Maa Durga every day. Day 6 with Katyayani always feels extra special to me.
- Kanya Pujan: On the 8th or 9th, invite young girls, wash their feet, and share a meal with them—it’s a sweet moment.
- Wrap Up: On April 7, sprinkle the Kalash water around your home and feed the barley to birds—a perfect end.
