Navaratri (Sanskrit: नवरात्रि, romanized: Navarātri) is an annual Hindu festival that honours Shakti, the divine feminine power in Hinduism, through the worship of the nine forms of Goddess Durga, over a period of nine nights. The festival is celebrated in varying ways across the Hindu Indian cultural sphere. Sharad Navratri begins on the first day of the bright fortnight of Ashvina and lasts nine nights.

Dates can vary by a day between regions and traditions.

Why does the date move?

Hindu festivals follow the panchang, a lunisolar calendar in which most festivals are tied to a particular lunar day (tithi) of a particular month. Because lunar months drift against the solar year and a leap month is periodically inserted, the Gregorian date of each festival moves within a few weeks from year to year — and regional traditions can observe the same festival a day apart.
