News India Live, Digital Desk: We all celebrate Navratri (Chaitra and Sharadiya) twice a year with great pomp. Garba takes place, Bhandaras take place and there is intense devotion to Maa Durga. But do you know that there are two such Navratri’s in a year about which very few people know? We call these ‘Gupta Navratri’.
The first ‘Magh Gupt Navratri’ of the year 2026 is going to start soon. As the name suggests, this puja is performed with great peace and secrecy. It is believed that the more secretly you practice, the more results you get.
After all, when is Magh Gupta Navratri of 2026?
According to Hindu calendar and calculations, Magh Gupta Navratri will be in the year 2026. 19 January (Monday) Expected to start from. This time is very special for those who are looking for spiritual peace or want to do penance for some special desire. This is the holy time of 10 days when special worship of 10 Mahavidyas is done.
Ghatasthapana: When to start auspicious beginning?
The success of the puja depends on whether we start it at the right time or not. The morning of 19 January, when it is the first hour after sunrise, is considered to be the best for Ghatasthapana. Invoking Mother Goddess in the calm atmosphere of the morning eliminates negative energy from the house.
What is special in this Navratri?
The month of Magh is considered very sacred for worship. This time, along with Navratri, there is also a wonderful coincidence of Surya Puja. In the winter of Magh, when you offer Arghya to the Sun God in the morning and chant the name of Mother Bhagwati, a new energy comes in the body. During this time, you can chant the mantra ‘Om Ain Hreem Kleem Chamundayai Vicche’ as per your capacity.
A little tip for common people
Satvikta has great importance in Gupt Navratri. Even if you are not able to fast for nine days, then try to avoid garlic and onion at home these days and light a small ghee lamp in the morning and evening. Even one minute of prayer done with a clean heart can be greater than a 100 kilometer walk.
In this journey of spirituality, keep your devotion ‘secret’ and see how with the blessings of Mother, your unfulfilled desires start getting fulfilled.
