When is Maha Saptami 2025?

The Saptami Tithi for Maha Saptami begins at 02:27 PM on September 28, 2025 and will go on till 04:31 PM on September 29, 2025.

Significance of Maha Saptami

Maha Saptami Puja is focused on invoking Goddess Durga into nine different types of plants. In Hinduism, a living medium is necessary to invoke the indwelling spirit of a deity. It is through this living medium that devotees can interact with the Divinity and pay homage. While the celebration of Maha Shashti was focused on invoking Goddess Durga into the Bilva leaves, on the occasion of Maha Saptami, she is further invoked into nine different types of plants. The Navpatrika is formed by bundling nine different plants together. After this, a ceremonial bath is given to the Navpatrika, which is then adorned with a red or orange coloured cloth and installed on a wooden seat on the right side of the image of Durga.

The celebration of Maha Saptami is considered to be of great importance as it prepares devotees for the most auspicious and crucial days of Pujo celebration, Durga Ashtami, Maha Navami and Vijayadashami. We hope that the celebration of Maha Saptami brings with it the love, light and happiness that you deserve. Here’s wishing everyone a Happy Maha Saptami.
