Why Navratri will be celebrated for 10 days this year?
Navratri 2025 will span 10 days instead of the usual nine due to the overlap in the lunar calendar of Tithi timings. The festival begins on September 22 and concludes on October 2 with Vijayadashami. This rare extension occurs when Pratipada starts before sunrise and lasts beyond it, making the first day count separately.
