Navaratri

Nine nights of the Goddess — bhajan, garba and katha from every corner of India.

11–19 October 2026 · Vijayadashami on 20 October

Navaratri honours Durga across her nine forms — nine nights of devotion that look different in every region: garba and dandiya in Gujarat, Durga Puja in Bengal, Golu and Navarathri kolu in the south, and Mata ki Chowki and jagran in the north, closing on Vijayadashami. Here are devotional podcasts and live radio to carry the season, free to play in the browser or the app.
