As is customary every year, Ashadh Gupt Navratri is set to commence on July 15. This special nine-day observance is considered highly significant for the secret worship of various forms of Maa Durga and for attaining Siddhi (spiritual powers) through tantric practices. According to astrologers and religious scholars, the उपासना (worship) performed during Gupt Navratri yields greater benefits than that of regular Navratris, especially for devotees seeking supernatural powers and esoteric knowledge.

Ashadh Gupt Navratri will begin with Ghatasthapana (pot installation), for which the auspicious time on July 15 will be from 05:31 AM to 07:16 AM. During this period, devotees will install a Kalash (pot) in their homes and invoke Maa Bhagwati. The nine-day ritual involves the worship of the nine forms of Maa Durga, along with the Dasa Mahavidyas (ten great wisdom goddesses), which include Kali, Tara, Tripur Sundari, Bhuvaneshwari, Chhinnamasta, Tripur Bhairavi, Dhumavati, Baglamukhi, Matangi, and Kamala Devi.

It is believed that the chants, penance, and rituals performed during Gupt Navratri free devotees from obstacles in life and fulfill their wishes. Tantric practitioners, in particular, eagerly await this period to elevate their spiritual practices. Regular devotees can also earn blessings by chanting Maa Durga's mantras and reciting Durga Saptashati during this time, which is also considered excellent for self-purification and spiritual progress.
