The spring nine nights, kept quieter than Sharad's — the Vikram new year begins on the first of them, and Ram Navami falls on the ninth.

The vrat

As in Sharad: nine days, or the first and the last, on fruit and vrat foods.

How Chaitra Navratri is kept

Katha

The year's first morning

The year turns here, not in January. On the first day of the bright half of Chaitra the new samvat begins, the neem is in flower, and the old panchang is put away.

Puja vidhi

6 steps

The method at the day's own hours, every mantra with its meaning.

Samagri

5 things to set out

Every item pictured, a list to tick and send.
