Navratri 2025 has brought a little confusion this year, because the tithi timings have stretched the festival to ten days instead of the usual nine. On September 27, 2025 (Saturday), the festival enters its 6th day on the calendar. But astrologically, the Shashthi tithi begins tomorrow (September 28).
That means today is observed as the 6th day of Navratri (Panchami tithi, Maa Skandamata’s day), while the main Katyayani puja will actually be performed tomorrow, September 28. Devotees, however, are already preparing with the colour, bhog and rituals connected to Day 7.
Which goddess is worshipped on Navratri Day 7?
Traditionally, the 6th day of Navratri is dedicated to Maa Katyayani. But in 2025, due to the Panchang overlap, the sequence has shifted forward. Maa Katyayani will be worshipped on Day 7 (Shashthi tithi, September 28) instead of Day 6.
Maa Katyayani, the warrior goddess, took form to destroy the demon Mahishasura. She rides on a lion, carries a lotus and sword, and blesses devotees with courage, prosperity, and marital harmony.
