Question 1

When is Maha Ashtami in 2026?

Accepted Answer

Maha Ashtami falls on 19 October 2026. That date is calculated for New Delhi; because the tithi begins and ends at a local clock time, Ganak recomputes it for your own city.

Question 2

How is Maha Ashtami observed?

Accepted Answer

Offer Devi worship and family anjali; perform Kumari Puja or homa only where already established in the household tradition.

Question 3

What is the significance of Maha Ashtami?

Accepted Answer

Navratri Maha Ashtami honours Durga's protective power and is distinct from the Bengal-specific Durga Puja route.
