Gupt Navratri
What is Gupt Navratri?
Gupt Navratri, also known as Ashada and Magha Navratri or Gayatri Navratri, is dedicated to Maa Durga. While Chaitra and Sharad Navratri are popular, the Gupt Navratri is celebrated secretly to attain Riddhi & Siddhi. This is why they are called the “secret nine nights,” during which seekers tap into the divine feminine power of Maa Durga and achieve the desired spiritual enlightenment.

It is celebrated twice a year with full devotion. Magh Navratri is mainly celebrated in North India and the Ashadh Navratri is celebrated mainly in South India. It is celebrated during the month of Maagh (January-February) and Ashada ( June-July).
