What is Navratri Puja?
Navratri Puja is the nine-night worship of Goddess Durga in her nine forms (Navadurga), from Ghatasthapana on Ashwin Shukla Pratipada to Maha Navami, ending with Vijayadashami. With Rutviju a verified pandit comes home for Ghatasthapana, the daily Devi puja, Durga Ashtami kanya pujan or the Navami havan, or performs it for you on a live video call.
Navratri Puja in Machilipatnam
Telugu families celebrate Dasara Navaratri with daily Devi puja, Bathukamma in Telangana, Saraswati puja on Moola nakshatram and Ayudha puja on Maha Navami; the Kanaka Durga temple in Vijayawada is the centre of the festival.
Pandits follow the Telugu Smarta and Vaishnava traditions: mantras are chanted in Sanskrit, and the sankalpam and explanations are given in Telugu. Muhurthams follow the Telugu panchangam (Chandramana calendar).
