Is saal Navratri thoda der se aa raha hai. 2026 mein Adhik Maas pada hai — Hindu panchang lunisolar hai, aur chandra varsh saur varsh se lagbhag 11 din chhota hota hai. Isliye har teen saal mein ek atirikt maas joda jaata hai taaki tyohaar apne mausam mein hi rahein. Yahi wajah hai ki 2026 ke zyadatar tyohaar pichhle saal ki tulna mein baad mein pad rahe hain.
Neeche aapko poora nau din ka calendar, har din ki devi, Ghatasthapana ki vidhi, Ashtami-Navami ka Kanya Pujan, aur vrat ke niyam — sab kuch ek jagah milega.

Ghatasthapana 2026 ka muhurat kya hai?
Ghatasthapana Navratri ka sabse pehla aur sabse mahatvapurna karya hai. Ise Pratipada tithi mein, din ke pehle ek-tihai hisse mein karna shubh maana jaata hai.
11 October 2026 (Delhi/NCR ke samay ke anusaar):
| Kya | Samay |
|---|---|
| Ghatasthapana Muhurat | Subah 06:19 AM se 10:12 AM tak Avdhi: 3 ghante 52 minute |
| Abhijit Muhurat | Subah 11:44 AM se dopahar 12:31 PM tak Avdhi: 47 minute |
| Pratipada tithi prarambh | 10 October 2026, raat 09:19 PM |
| Pratipada tithi samapt | 11 October 2026, raat 09:30 PM |
Yeh mukhya muhurat kyun 06:19 se 10:12 tak hai? Kyunki shastron ke anusaar Ghatasthapana din ke pehle ek-tihai bhaag mein honi chahiye. 11 October ko Delhi mein sooryoday 06:19 AM par hai, aur us din ki poori avdhi ka ek-tihai hissa 3 ghante 52 minute banta hai — isliye khidki subah 10:12 baje band ho jaati hai.
Pratipada tithi 10 October ki raat 09:19 baje se hi shuru ho jaati hai, lekin sthapana agle din subah hi ki jaati hai, kyunki 11 October ko sooryoday ke samay tithi maujood hai. Yahi udaya tithi ka niyam hai.
Do samay bachne yogya hain: Chitra Nakshatra aur Vaidhriti Yoga ke dauran Ghatasthapana nahi ki jaati. Agar in dono ka samay Pratipada ke saath pad raha ho, to Abhijit Muhurat (11:44 AM – 12:31 PM) mein sthapana karna sabse surakshit vikalp hai.
Agar subah ka muhurat nikal jaaye to? Ghabrayein nahi. Abhijit Muhurat din ka sabse shubh samay maana jaata hai aur usme ki gayi sthapana poori tarah maanya hai. Kaam par jaane wale logon ke liye yeh sabse vyavharik vikalp hai.
Ghatasthapana kaise karein? — Step by step
- Sthaan ki safai. Ghar ke ishaan kon (north-east) mein pooja sthal ko saaf karein aur Gangajal chhidkein.
- Mitti aur jau. Ek chaude mitti ke paatra mein saaf mitti bhar kar usme jau ke beej boyein. Halka paani chhidkein.
- Kalash sthapana. Mitti ke paatra ke ooper tambe ya mitti ka kalash rakhein. Usme saaf paani, Gangajal, ek supari, ek sikka, aur kuch akshat daalein.
- Aam ke patte. Kalash ke mukh par paanch aam ke patte lagayein.
- Nariyal. Ek nariyal ko laal chunri mein lapet kar patton ke ooper sthapit karein. Nariyal ka mukh apni or rakhein.
- Maa ki sthapana. Kalash ke paas Maa Durga ki murti ya tasveer rakhein aur unhe chunri, phool, aur shringaar samagri arpit karein.
- Deep prajwalit. Akhand jyoti jalayein — yeh nau din tak nirantar jalti rehni chahiye.
- Sankalp. Haath mein jal, akshat aur phool lekar nau din ke vrat ka sankalp lein.
Nau din tak jau ko halka paani dete rahein. Navami tak yeh hara-bhara ho jaata hai — ise samriddhi ka shubh sanket maana jaata hai.
Sharad Navratri kya hai aur ise “Sharad” kyun kehte hain?
Navratri saal mein chaar baar aata hai, lekin do hi vyapak roop se manaye jaate hain — Chaitra Navratri (March–April) aur Sharad Navratri (September–October).
“Sharad” ka arth hai sharad ritu, yaani autumn. Barish ke baad jab aasman saaf ho jaata hai, tab yeh parv aata hai. Isme ek gehra prateek chhupa hai: jaise baadal chhat kar aasman nirmal hota hai, waise hi in nau raaton ki sadhana se mann ka bhram door hota hai.
Nau raatein Adi Shakti ke nau roopon — Navadurga — ko samarpit hain. Har din ek swaroop, ek mantra, aur ek vishesh guna. Dasvein din, Vijayadashami, Maa Durga ki Mahishasura par vijay ka utsav hai.
Durga Ashtami aur Maha Navami 2026
Yeh do din Navratri ke sabse mahatvapurna din hain.
Durga Ashtami — 18 October 2026 (Sunday). Maa Mahagauri ki pooja. Bahut se parivaar is din Kanya Pujan karte hain. Sandhi Pooja — Ashtami ke ant aur Navami ke aarambh ke sandhi kaal mein ki jaane wali 48 minute ki vishesh pooja — bhi isi din hoti hai.
Maha Navami — 19 October 2026 (Monday). Maa Siddhidatri ki pooja aur havan. Nau din ki sadhana ka samapan. Jo log Ashtami ko Kanya Pujan nahi kar paate, ve Navami ko karte hain.
Kanya Pujan kaise karein?
2 se 10 saal tak ki nau kanyaon ko ghar bulaya jaata hai. Unke saath ek chhote balak ko bhi bithaya jaata hai, jise “Langur” ya Batuk Bhairav kaha jaata hai.
- Kanyaon ke pair dhoyein aur unhe aasan par bithayein
- Maathe par tilak lagayein, kalai par mauli baandhein
- Bhojan karayein — paramparik roop se puri, kaale chane, aur sooji ka halwa
- Bhojan ke baad daan dein — vastra, phal, ya dakshina
- Unke charan sparsh karke aashirvaad lein
Har umra ka apna arth hai: 2 saal ki kanya Kumarika, 3 ki Trimurti, 4 ki Kalyani, 5 ki Rohini, 6 ki Kalika, 7 ki Chandika, 8 ki Shambhavi, 9 ki Durga, aur 10 saal ki kanya Subhadra kehlati hai.
Navratri vrat ke niyam — kya khayein, kya na khayein
Vrat sabke liye ek jaisa nahi hota. Kuch log nirjala rakhte hain, kuch phalahar, aur kuch sirf pehle aur aakhri din ka vrat rakhte hain. Jo bhi rakhein, niyam ek hi hain.
Kuttu ka aata, singhare ka aata, samak ke chawal, sabudana, aloo, lauki, kaddu, tamatar, dahi, doodh, paneer, makhana, moongfali, phal, sendha namak.
Gehun, chawal, daal, besan, saada namak, pyaz, lehsun, maans, madira, aur zyadatar packaged food.
Kaun vrat na rakhein: Garbhvati mahilayein, stanpaan karane wali maayein, diabetes ke rogi, aur wo log jo regular dawai lete hain — unhe pehle apne doctor se salah leni chahiye. Bhakti ka arth apne shareer ko nuksaan pahunchana nahi hai. Aise log sirf satvik bhojan lekar bhi Navratri manaa sakte hain.
Navratri pooja samagri ki poori list
Ek hi baar mein saara saamaan le aayein taaki nau din koi kami na ho.
Kalash ke liye: Tambe ya mitti ka kalash, chaudi mitti ki thali, saaf mitti, jau ke beej, paanch aam ke patte, ek nariyal, laal chunri, supari, ek sikka, akshat (saabut chawal), Gangajal
Pooja ke liye: Maa Durga ki murti ya tasveer, laal chunri, 16 shringaar samagri, roli, kumkum, haldi, mauli, dhoop, agarbatti, kapoor, ghee ka deepak, rui ki batti, panchamrit
Phool aur bhog: Gende aur gudhal ke phool, mausami phal, mishri, batasha, kheer ya halwa, paan ka patta

Akhand jyoti ke liye: Bada peetal ka deepak, shudh ghee (lagbhag 1 kg nau din ke liye), lambi rui ki battiyan
Videsh mein rehne walon ke liye Navratri 2026
USA, UK, Canada, Australia aur Gulf mein rehne wale parivaaron ke liye tithi ka samay alag padta hai, kyunki tithi Bharatiya sooryoday par gini jaati hai. Aam taur par:
- Gulf (UAE, Saudi, Qatar): IST se 1.5–2 ghante peeche — zyadatar tithi Bharat jaise hi
- UK: IST se 4.5 ghante peeche — kuch tithi ek din pehle shuru ho sakti hain
- USA aur Canada: IST se 9.5–12.5 ghante peeche — tithi aksar ek din pehle padti hai
- Australia aur NZ: IST se aage — tithi ek din baad ho sakti hai
Apne sthaan ke hisaab se sahi tithi ke liye local mandir ya panchang app se confirm karein. Vistrit guide ke liye padhein: Navratri 2026 Dates in USA, UK, Canada & Australia
Navratri par kya karein aur kya na karein
- Roz subah snan karke pooja karein
- Akhand jyoti ka dhyan rakhein
- Ghar mein satvik vaatavaran banayein
- Roz Durga Saptashati ya Durga Chalisa ka paath karein
- Kanyaon ka samman karein
- Baal aur naakhun na katayein
- Chamde ki vastuein na pehnein
- Ghar khaali na chhodein jab akhand jyoti jal rahi ho
- Kisi ka apmaan na karein
- Din mein na soyein
