Navratri is a time when faith, tradition, and festivity come together, not only in temples and community halls but also in homes, apartments, and even through virtual gatherings. The energy feels different.For 2025, Sharad Navratri in the US will begin on Monday, September 22, and continue until Tuesday, September 30. The celebration then concludes with Vijayadashami (Dussehra) on Thursday, October 2. Each of the nine nights honors a different form of Goddess Durga, and devotees observe fasts, chant prayers, and perform rituals in her name.Unlike in India, where the whole city might light up with pandals, in the US Navratri often happens in smaller, close-knit groups. It takes shape in smaller yet equally passionate forms — homes decorated with diyas, temples filled with chants, and large halls lit up for dandiya nights. Music fills the air, children dress in traditional clothes, and families gather for both prayer and play.And then comes the food. For some, Navratri means fasting and keeping meals simple with fruits, sabudana, and vrat-friendly recipes. For others, it’s about sharing prasad, cooking traditional sweets, or heading to community gatherings where plates are filled with festive dishes.
The festival itself carries a story that has been passed down for generations. According to tradition, Navratri symbolizes the victory of Goddess Durga over the demon Mahishasura. It reminds us that courage and goodness can defeat even the strongest forms of negativity. Each of the nine nights celebrates a different form of Durga, from Shailputri to Siddhidatri, showing her many strengths, from nurturing to fierce, from compassionate to protective.If you are in the US, don’t forget to take the blessings of your parents, elders, or relatives living back in India. Some share festival greetings on WhatsApp, others write longer messages, and a few still prefer the warmth of a phone call. However you do it, passing on good wishes keeps the spirit of Navratri alive across borders. Here are a few messages, wishes, and quotes you can share with friends and family during the holy week.
