Navratri celebrations across Australia — nine nights of Garba, Dandiya, devotional music, and community festivities.
Navratri 2026 runs from Sunday 11 October 2026 to Monday 19 October 2026 — in about 4 weeks
Durga Ashtami and Maha Navami both fall on Monday 19 October in 2026 — the tithis compress onto one civil day, so this is a nine-night window that ends on a single combined day rather than two.
