Gupta Navratri 2025: Date, significance, rituals — all you need to know about Ashadha Gayatri Navratri
Gupta Navratri 2025 Date, Puja Vidhi, Rituals And Significance: Gupta Navratri, Ashadha Navratri or Gayatri Navratri, is a religious nine-day festival that honours the nine forms of Goddess Durga, also known as Navadurga. It falls in the Hindu month of Ashadha, which corresponds to June-July on the Gregorian calendar. In 2025, it will be starting from June 26, Thursday, as mentioned in Drik Panchang. Source: Drik Panchang Ashadh Navratri Parana in 2025 will be observed on Friday, July 4, 2025, marking the conclusion of the nine-day Navratri festival. According to Drik Panchang, it should be performed after 16:31 on this day; the Navami Tithi will begin on July 3, 2025, at 14:06 and end on July 4, 2025, at 16:31. Unlike the more popularly renowned Chaitra and Sharadiya Navratri, Gupta Navratri is held quietly and meditatively, largely by those seeking spirituality and Tantric practitioners desiring deep sadhana and divine blessings. The name 'Gupta' means hidden or secret, indicating that this Navratri is about interior spiritual practice, intense meditation, and personal devotion to the goddess. During these nine days, devotees, yogis, and tantriks perform particular sadhanas and reciting religious scriptures such as the 'Durga Saptshati,' 'Devi Mahatmya,' and 'Shrimad-Devi Bhagwat to receive the Divine Mother's blessings and spiritual growth. The nine days of Gupta Navratri commemorate Maa Durga's nine incarnations, each of which stands for a unique quality of strength, kindness, wisdom, and defence, and by worshipping and marking the festival, one can gain peace, prosperity, and blessings from Goddess Durga while also removing negative energy and obstacles.
