Ram Navami 2026: The ninth and last day of Chaitra Navratri is dedicated to Mother Siddhidatri. As is clear from its name itself, this form of Mother is going to provide all kinds of ‘siddhis’ and perfection to her devotees. This year, the great festival of Ram Navami and worship of Maa Siddhidatri will be celebrated on 27 March 2026. According to mythological beliefs, Lord Shiva also attained eight siddhis by her grace and half of his body belonged to the goddess, due to which he was called ‘Ardhanarishwar’. By worshiping Mother Goddess on the last day of Navratri, one gets the full results of the worship of the last eight days.
Auspicious time of Ram Navami and Siddhidatri Puja
On the day of Navami Tithi, Kanya Puja and Havan have special significance. There are three best auspicious times for puja this year.
Auspicious time in the morning: From 06:18 am to 10:15 am (this time is best for Kalash immersion and puja).
Ram Janmotsav Muhurta: From 11:13 pm to 01:41 pm (the main puja of Ram Navami will be performed at this time).
Abhijeet Muhurat: From 12:02 pm to 12:51 pm.
How to worship and perform havan of Maa Siddhidatri?
Mother Siddhidatri is seated on a lotus flower and she is very fond of purple or red color. Wearing clothes of these colors on the day of puja is considered auspicious. Offer fragrance, incense and lamp to the idol of the Mother Goddess. It is considered most appropriate to offer halwa, puri and black gram to Maa Siddhidatri. After puja, perform havan on Navami day. While offering the offering in the fire of Havan, chant “Om Hreem Kleem Chamundayai Vichche Namo Namah” and the name of the mother. After this, worship the nine girls and feed them and give gifts as per your capacity. Serving girls is very auspicious for your life.
Brief introduction of eight siddhis
The form of Maa Siddhidatri is a symbol of perfection and infinite knowledge. According to Markandeya Purana, the Mother grants eight types of supernatural siddhis to her devotees, which are essential for the mental and spiritual upliftment of man.
- Anima: The power to make your body as small as a molecule.
- Glory: Power to give extremely huge and unlimited form to the body.
- dignity: The power to make the body heavy and immovable like a mountain.
- Laghima: The power to make the body as light as cotton, so that one can move even in the air.
- Receipt: The power to obtain anything as per one’s wish without any hindrance.
- प्रकाम्य: The power to fulfill all your wishes and resolutions anywhere on earth or in the sky.
- divinity: The power to establish one’s dominance and authority over all living beings and elements.
- Vashitva: The power to make or control every thing and creature in the world as per your wish.
When the seeker worships the Mother with complete ease and devotion, he starts realizing these powers. Lord Shiva also attained all these achievements by the grace of Siddhidatri. Meditating on these achievements at the end of Navratri removes the doubts from your mind and opens the way to happiness, prosperity and success in life.
