Navratri 2026 Dates — All 9 Days
Sharad Navratri is the nine-night festival of the Goddess observed in the bright half (Shukla Paksha) of the month of Ashwin. It begins with Ghatasthapana on Pratipada and ends with Maha Navami, followed by Vijaya Dashami (Dussehra) on Dashami.
This tool computes all nine Navratri 2026 dates for your Indian city from the lunar panchang — each day is mapped to its tithi, so the table reflects the dates as they actually fall locally rather than a one-size-fits-all calendar.
Important: Navratri dates can differ by a day between regions and traditions. Confirm with your local panchang or community calendar.
Formula
Navratri = the 9 days on which Ashwin Shukla tithis 1–9 prevail at sunrise. Vijaya Dashami = the following Dashami day.
Example
Delhi: Day 1 = Ghatasthapana (Pratipada), Day 8 = Durga Ashtami, Day 9 = Maha Navami, then Vijaya Dashami. Dates update per city.
