Shardiya Navratri 2025: According to the Panchang, the Navratri celebrated in the month of Ashwin is called Shardiya Navratri. Every year, it starts from the Pratipada date of the Shukla Paksha of the Ashwin month. It is believed that on this day, Goddess Durga comes to earth from heaven. During this time, the mother arrives with different vehicles, which has a special effect on the festivals, including the whole country and the world. This year, Shardiya Navratri will start from 22 September 2025. Also, the goddess will arrive riding an elephant. According to astrologers, the arrival of the mother riding an elephant is very auspicious. It is a symbol of happiness, prosperity, wealth, and peace in life. However, this time the second solar eclipse of the year is going to take place on September 21, a day before Sharadiya Navratri. Now the question is whether this eclipse will affect the festival of Navratri? Let us know about this in detail.
