Chaitra Navratri 2026: There's good news for devotees traveling to Kashi. A grand Ganga Aarti is being held at a new ghat in Kashi, starting on the first day of Navratri. Navratri also coincides with the Hindu New Year, a rare coincidence. It's said that this ghat is associated with Goddess Tripursundari. Let's find out which ghat in Kashi will host the grand Ganga Aarti...

The Ganga Aarti is also set to begin at Lalita Ghat in Varanasi. This aarti will be organized by the Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple Trust from March 19th. While the Ganga Aarti has previously been performed at Namo Ghat, it is now open to devotees at Lalita Ghat as well. This aarti begins on the first day of Chaitra Navratri, the Hindu New Year. According to the Hindu calendar, Navratri begins on the Pratipada Tithi of the Shukla Paksha (bright fortnight) of the month of Chaitra. During Chaitra Navratri, devotees worship the nine forms of Goddess Durga daily. The Ganga Aarti at Lalita Ghat in Kashi, coinciding with the Hindu New Year, brings joy to all devotees.

Notably, Vikram Samvat 2083 begins on March 19th according to the Gregorian calendar, and it is also the first day of Navratri. Such rare coincidences are rare. The commencement of the Ganga Aarti at Lalita Ghat on this day is significant in itself.

Lalita Ghat, considered one of the eighty-four ghats, has been chosen for this new Aarti ceremony. The name and significance of this ghat make this event even more special. In fact, Goddess Lalita is another name for 'Maa Tripursundari,' who is considered the supreme goddess in Tantra practice and is specially worshipped during Navratri. These auspicious coincidences make this event extremely rare and special.

The objective of the Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple Trust is to preserve the eternal faith and continuously work for the convenience of devotees. The Trust has organized this Aarti so that people can enjoy the religious experience as well as enjoy it with convenience and ease. The Trust's focus is not limited to the event itself, but also to ensuring that devotees can participate in the Aarti in a completely safe and comfortable environment.

The time for this new Ganga Aarti has been set at 6 pm, and it will be held regularly and consistently. The Trust encourages devotees to come and express their devotion by joining in the worship of Mother Ganga.

In addition to this event, full attention will be paid to security, cleanliness, and other arrangements. If devotees wish to provide suggestions or complaints regarding this event, the Trust's email ID is available. The Trust states that every suggestion or complaint will be addressed.
