Kanya Puja in 2025 will be observed mainly during the Sharad Navratri festival on two closely related days: Ashtami and Navami.
- The primary day for Kanya Puja is on Ashtami, which falls on Tuesday, September 30, 2025. The auspicious muhurat (time for performing the puja) on this day is typically in the morning to mid-day, for example from around 5:01 AM to 6:13 AM and also from 10:41 AM to 12:11 PM depending on tradition and region.
- Some families and devotees also perform Kanya Puja on Navami, which is the following day, Wednesday, October 1, 2025. Both days are considered auspicious for the ritual, and people may choose either or both days for the puja.
- Kanya Puja involves worshipping nine young girls as manifestations of Goddess Durga, offering them food and gifts as a mark of respect and devotion.
So, in summary, Kanya Puja dates in 2025 are September 30 (Ashtami) and October 1 (Navami), with the choice depending on family tradition or preference.
