Durga Saptashati Adhyay 1.24
In Chaitra Navratri, 9th day of Navratri 2025 is April 7 and September 30 in Ashwin Navratri. Mahanavami is the culmination day of Navratri Durga Puja. But due to tithi Vriddhi and Shunya Tithi, 9th day of Navratri falls on Durga Ashtami in Ashwin Navratri.
It falls on ninth day of Navratri in Ashwin Month. Mahanavami is celebrated on Ashwin Shukla Paksha Navami, the ninth day of Durga Navratri.
Maha Navami is the last day of 9-day festival, Sharad Navaratri. As per Hindu beliefs, Durga puja on Maha Navami is equal to Durga pooja performed on all 9 days of Durga Navaratri.
On this day, Maa Siddhidhatri is worshipped in Navadurga Sampradaya (Shakteya Sampradayam). VIjayawada Kanakadurga Devi is worshipped as Sri Durga Devi on 9th day in 2025.
