Navratri 2025 Date: Navratri The festival of the festival of Maa Durga is very important in the Mahaparva, Indian culture. Every year in this puja lasting nine days, various forms of Maa Durga are worshiped. These days, the vehicle on which Maa Durga comes riding, also has special significance. You must have often seen that sometimes mother Durga comes on an elephant, sometimes on a horse or on any other animal. But do you know how it is decided? Come, let's understand this secret in detail.
During Navratri, the ride of Maa Durga is determined on the basis of day (war). The day of Navratri begins, the mother's ride is decided according to the same day.
Monday (Shashi) and Sunday (Surya): If Navratri starts on these days, then the mother Durga comes riding on the elephant (yard). Riding on an elephant indicates happiness, prosperity and good rain.
Saturday (Saturn) and Tuesday (Bhoom): When Navratri starts on these days, the mother's ride is a horse (tura). Riding on a horse is often considered a sign of war, political instability or natural disasters.
Thursday (Guru) and Friday (Venus): Mother's ride is palanquin (dola) when Navratri starts on these days. Counting in the palanquin, there is an increase of happiness, peace and prosperity.
Wednesday (Mercury): If Navratri starts on this day, then Maa Durga comes in a boat (boat). Riding on a boat is considered auspicious, which indicates the fulfillment of the wishes of the devotees and the good result.
Just as the mother's arrival ride is important, similarly the ride of her departure (return) also has special significance. On the last day of Navratri, ie Vijayadashami, the day the mother leaves, her return ride is determined according to the same day.
These riders also reflect future signs, such as return to the buffalo indicate sorrow and disease, while the return to the elephant brings happiness and prosperity.
According to the almanac, Sharadiya Navratri is starting on Monday, September 22, in 2025, so Maa Durga is coming on an elephant. This means that this year there are signs of rain and prosperity.)
This is not just astrological calculations, but also deep mythological beliefs behind it. Each form of Maa Durga and her ride has its own special meaning. The lion, which is the main vehicle of Maa Durga, symbolizes strength and courage. At the same time, changing riders during the nine days of Navratri reflect the changing nature of the universe and the changing nature of nature.
