Durga Mata face HD
Masik Durgashtami is a vrat dedicated to Goddess Durga and is observed mainly in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Goa, North India and some parts of Karnataka. It falls in Shukla Paksha (bright half) of each Hindu month.
The first Masik Durgashtami in 2026 falls during Magha Month and the last Durga Ashtami falls in Margashirsha Month.
Devotees observe fasting on this day and worship Maa Durga. It is to note that the main Durgashtami falls during Ashwin Navratri. And Chaitra Maas Durgashtami is also considered highly meritorious.
