Navratri in 2025 begins on Monday, September 22, and lasts for nine nights, concluding on Wednesday, October 1, with the festival of Vijayadashami, or Dussehra, on Thursday, October 2. This year, the festival is extended to ten days due to a rare alignment in the lunar calendar. Navratri is a Hindu festival celebrating the divine feminine and the victory of good over evil, traditionally marked by worshipping Goddess Durga over nine nights.
