Chaitra Navratri 2026: The holy festival of Chaitra Navratri is starting from 19 March 2026. On this Pratipada date, Lord Brahma had inaugurated the creation of the universe and Lord Vishnu had revived religion on earth by taking the incarnation of Matsya.
On this day, the flag of victory is hoisted in Maharashtra as Gudi Padwa. Remember, Shakti is worshiped not only to escape from troubles, but to recognize the confidence hidden within oneself.
Chaitra Navratri 2026: Luck of 3 zodiac signs will shine in Chaitra Navratri, earnings will increase, Mata Rani will be kind.
Vikram Samvat 2083 and planetary influence
This year, the king of Vikram Samvat 2083 is ‘Devguru Brihaspati’ and the minister is ‘Mangal’, while the command of security is in the hands of commander ‘Shanidev’. This combination of planets indicates that this will be a year of knowledge, discipline and indomitable courage.
This time mother’s carriage will be a doli. Due to Pratipada Tithi falling in Amavasya, there is a possibility of the first Tithi getting decayed, hence Navratri will last only for 8 days this time.
Tithi, Nakshatra and auspicious yoga
Pratipada Tithi will start after sunrise on March 19 and will end before sunrise the next day on March 20. On the first day of Chaitra Navratri, the Triveni Sangam of Uttarabhadrapada Nakshatra, Shukla Yoga and Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga is being formed. This will fully cooperate in achieving our resolutions.
Auspicious time for establishing Kalash
The first auspicious time for establishing the Kalash is from 06:53 to 08:17 in the morning. After this, you can also start worship in Chanchal Muhurta between 11:16 am to 12:46 pm or Abhijeet Muhurta between 12:22 pm to 01:10 pm.
Puja method and Kalash installation process
Connecting the method of worship with nature and five elements, first of all put pure water, Ganga water, Doob, Kusha, betel nut and coin in the Kalash. Decorate the mouth of the Kalash with mango or Ashoka leaves and install a coconut wrapped in chunri on a vessel filled with Akshat and invoking Lord Varun, make a Swastika with Kumkum on the Kalash and seat him on the left side.
Along with this, sow barley in an earthen pot, which will germinate in nine days and indicate the prosperity of the coming year. Keeping these sprouted barley in your safe or workplace after Navami paves the way for good luck and wealth.
Great coincidence and special measures
To take advantage of the great coincidences during Navratri, tie yellow mustard seeds and a silver coin in a red cloth and keep it near the Mother Goddess during Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga on 19, 20, 23, 25, 26 March, this will automatically remove the obstacles in your work.
On March 19, during Shukla Yoga, offer red sandalwood to Mother Goddess and water the Sun, which will increase your social respect. To protect health, offer milk and honey to Mother Goddess during Sarva Amrit Yoga on 20th March.
Navratri’s conclusion and message
This Navratri will be completed with the great festival of Shri Ram Navami on 26th March. This Navratri, take a pledge that you will keep both your diet and thoughts pure, because pure thoughts are the biggest miracle and real accomplishment of life.
