Chaitra Navratri & Gudi Padwa 2027: Date and the Hindu New Year
Chaitra Navratri 2027 begins on Wednesday, 7 April 2027 (as per current panchang), the same day as Gudi Padwa (Maharashtra) and Ugadi (Telugu and Kannada New Year).
Spring Navratri and a new year
This nine-night festival honours the nine forms of Durga in the spring season, while Gudi Padwa and Ugadi mark the beginning of the Hindu lunar year (Vikram Samvat). Homes raise the gudi, prepare festive dishes and begin the year on an auspicious note.
New beginnings
As a New Year and a Navratri together, the day is among the most auspicious for starting ventures, homes and resolutions.
A new year that begins with devotion tends to carry it forward.
