Happy Mahalaya 2025: Subho Mahalaya wishes, captions, and images to share

Mahalaya is one of the most auspicious days in the Hindu calendar, marking the arrival of Devi Durga on Earth. For Bengalis, it signals the beginning of Durga Puja festivities, while across India, it holds deep spiritual meaning as a day of remembrance and devotion.

In 2025, Mahalaya will be observed on September 21 with great enthusiasm by millions of devotees. From listening to the soulful Mahishasura Mardini on the radio at dawn to performing Tarpan rituals for ancestors, Mahalaya blends tradition, devotion, and emotion. Families come together to seek blessings, share wishes, and celebrate the divine energy of Goddess Durga.

Mahalaya 2025 date and time

Mahalaya 2025 will be observed on Sunday, September 21, 2025. The Amavasya Tithi begins at 12:16 AM on September 21 and ends at 01:23 AM on September 22, 2025. Devotees wake up early in the morning to offer prayers and listen to Birendra Krishna Bhadra’s timeless Mahishasura Mardini recital.

Why Mahalaya is celebrated before Durga Puja

Mahalaya marks the end of Pitru Paksha (a fortnight dedicated to ancestors) and the beginning of Devi Paksha. It is believed that on this day, Goddess Durga starts her journey from Mount Kailash to her maternal home on Earth. This transition is symbolic of the triumph of good over evil and the beginning of festive joy.
