Join Us for Our Shakambhari Navaratri Celebration 2024!

Shakambhari Navaratri is the 8 night festival for Goddess Shakambhari, honoring the origin of Goddess Shakambhari and her vanquishing of the demon Durgama, when he deprived the world of nurishment. Shakambhari restored vegetation to nourish the world.

​The festival starts on Shukla Ashtami (the 8th lunar phase of the waxing moon) in Pausha month (Dec. / Jan.) and ends on Purnima (fullmoon). This year, Shakambhari Navaratri begins on Jan. 17th and concludes on January 25th.
