    Overview

    Navratri Puja for families in Ramnagar

    Navratri Puja is the nine-night worship of the Divine Mother, observed twice a year in most households: Chaitra Navratri in spring and Sharad Navratri in autumn. Each day is dedicated to one of the Navadurga, the nine forms of Durga, from Shailputri on the first day to Siddhidatri on the ninth.

    Ramnagar lies on the eastern bank of the Ganga, across the river from the main city of Varanasi. It is best known for Ramnagar Fort, the historic residence of the former rulers of Banaras, and for its long-running traditional Ramlila held around Dussehra.

    या देवी सर्वभूतेषु शक्तिरूपेण संस्थिता।

    नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमो नमः॥

    Yā devī sarvabhūteṣu śaktirūpeṇa saṁsthitā, namastasyai namastasyai namastasyai namo namaḥ.

    To the Goddess who dwells in all beings in the form of power, salutations to her, again and again.Devi Mahatmyam (Durga Saptashati)

    Planning your puja in Ramnagar

    Ramnagar is reached by road across the river; allow extra travel time from the ghats and central Varanasi.
    Share your exact location in advance, as Pandits may be travelling from the city side.
    Traffic can build up during the Ramlila and Dussehra period.
    Independent houses and courtyards make larger havans and family gatherings easier.
    For rituals that need the Ganga, the Pandit can advise whether to go to a ghat on the city side.
    Tell us whether you want only ghatasthapana, daily path, or the full nine days.
    Keep barley seeds, a clay pot, kalash, red chunri and akhand jyoti ready, or ask for samagri.
