Chaitra Navratri 2027 (चैत्र नवरात्रि)
Hindu New Year — Ugadi & Gudi Padwa
🪔 Puja Muhurat
| Occasion | Time (IST) | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Ghatasthapana Muhurat (Abhijit) | 11:58 am – 12:48 pm | Abhijit Muhurat (the 8th of the day's own 15 muhurtas, centred on local solar noon) — the classical fallback window for Kalash Sthapana when the earlier, longer morning (Pratahkal) window is missed. That fuller Pratahkal window — and its own Chitra Nakshatra/Vaidhriti Yoga exclusions — is not computed here; only this later Abhijit alternative is shown. No portion of this window is classified good/excellent by this app's own Rahu Kaal/Gulika/Yamaganda + Choghadiya check for this date — a genuine, if unusual, overlap between two independently-computed classical techniques, not a computation error on either side. |
About Chaitra Navratri
Chaitra Navratri marks the Hindu New Year, beginning on Chaitra Shukla Pratipada. The same day is celebrated as Ugadi in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka, and as Gudi Padwa in Maharashtra — both marking the start of the traditional lunisolar new year. Like Sharad Navratri, it spans nine nights of worship of Goddess Durga, opening with Ghatasthapana.
