Navratri 2024 date october

The colourful 9-day festival is around the corner and we surely can’t keep calm! Let’s shed light on what Navratri’s first day is all about. Day 1 belongs to Maa Durga’s Shailputri avatar, the goddess who has her name derived from the combination of two words, mountain (Shail) and daughter (Putri).

On the very first day of navratri, people keep their worries aside and prepare themselves for Goddess Shailputri Puja.

Besides, people also offer prayers to the Lord Ganesha who is the remover of hurdles.

In Astrology, it is believed that the Goddess Shailputri controls the planet Moon. By chanting Adi Shakti mantras, one can overcome the bad effects of the Moon.

Moreover, it also helps to maintain a healthy life. During this festival, people step out of the house in colorful and traditional dresses to enjoy Garba (Gujarati folk dance). As per Hindu rituals, Ghatasthapana is also considered as one of the significant rituals as it invokes the Goddess to take place inside a sacred pot.
