Ashadha Gupt Navratri Significance
Like the other Navratris, Ashadha Navratri lasts for nine days. Each day is dedicated to a different form of the goddess Shakti. The most auspicious or Shubh time to do Ghatasthapana is the first one-third of the day during Pratipada. If this time is not available, then Ghatasthapana can be done during Abhijit Muhurta.
Ashadha Gupt Navratri is also known as Gupt Navratri, which means secret Navratri because it is not as widely celebrated or recognized as the other two major Navratris- Chaitra and Sharad Navratris. During all the nine days of Navaratri, devotees engage in prayers, fasting and rituals to honour the goddess. Special pujas, homas, and recitations of sacred texts like the Durga Saptashati are common practices.
