Navratri and Durga Puja 2026

That divine power which exists in all beings as mother —
reverence to her, adoration to Her!

At the beginning of Navratri — the nine nights leading up to the Durga Puja festival — the pujaris at Brindavon Ashram bathe the murti of Devi Durga and dress her anew.

With vibrant Kirtan, Ao Ao Mere Angana Durga Bhavani, we invoke the Divine Mother — embodied in our GuruMa — honoring the all-pervading, primordial feminine power and Her victory over darkness.
Together, we will celebrate the culmination of Navratri, Durga Puja, in Ma’s presence at Sri Neem Karoli Baba Mandir from October 16–18.

You can register for Durga Puja celebration on the ashram events page.
