Durga Visarjan marks the final goodbye of Durga Puja and Navratri, the moment when Maa Durga’s idols are immersed in water, symbolising her return to Mount Kailash. It’s that one day when the air feels full of music, devotion, and a strange mix of joy and ache.
In 2025, Durga Visarjan will be held on Thursday, October 2, the same day as Vijayadashami. Devotees perform the puja during the shubh muhurat, which changes slightly from city to city.

Rituals of Durga Visarjan
- Kalash Visarjan: The sacred Kalash used during Navratri is immersed first.
- Durga Aarti & Stuti: Devotees recite mantras before immersion.
- Processions: Idols are carried through streets with music, dance, and colours.
- Navratri Parana: After immersion, many devotees break their Navratri fast.
So wherever you are — Kolkata, Delhi, Mumbai, Patna, or Guwahati — if you perform the visarjan during the right muhurat, it’s believed that Maa’s blessings of peace, protection, and prosperity will stay with you long after the drums go silent.
