Importance of Gupt Navratri
Gupt Navratri is distinct from the more widely celebrated Chaitra and Sharadiya Navratris, occurring in the months of Magh and Ashadha. It emphasizes secretive worship practices that are believed to yield powerful spiritual benefits, including the attainment of siddhis (spiritual powers) and fulfilling personal desires.
This period is considered highly auspicious for those seeking deeper spiritual connection and empowerment through devotion to Goddess Durga in her various forms.
