It is believed that during Gupt Navratri, Goddess Sadhana is not done by telling anyone. That is why these days have been given the name Gupta. During Gupta Navratri, secret rituals are performed for nine days. These days ten forms of Goddess Durga are worshipped.
It is believed that during Navratri, the Goddess becomes pleased with the worship and grants the desired results. The more secrecy this sadhana has, the sooner it will yield results. Mother Goddesses Kalike, Tara Devi, Tripura Sundari Devi, Bhuneshwari Devi, Maa Dhumravati, Baglamukhi Mata, Matangi Mata and Goddess Kamala are worshiped in Gupt Navratri.
Goddess worship is done these days through mantra chanting, Shri Durga Saptashati and Havan.
