Vasantha Navarathri

Thursday, March 19 through Thursday, March 26, 2026

Vasanta Navrathri is the 9 Nights of Spring when the Divine Mother manifests as Mother Nature providing vegetation, nourishment, shelter, protection to all creatures, and rejuvenation to life on Earth.  We celebrate Vasantha Navarathri to welcome and rejoice in the seasonal changes when Nature is at her best. 

Worshipping the 9 forms of Shakthi during Vasantha Navarathri brings happiness and prosperity into our lives. This  festival symbolizes the victory of good over evil and the power of devotion and faith. It begins on the Hindu New Year and culminates with Ram Navami on Thursday, March 26.
