Gupt Navratri is worshiped from the first date of Magh Shukla Paksha to the ninth date for the fulfillment of special wishes. This Navratri is celebrated by very few people, but in the states of North India like Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Uttarakhand, and Bengal, the worship of Goddess Bhagwati has special significance. During this period, nine Durgas and ten Mahavidyas are worshipped. Devotees worship Goddess Durga, Kali, Lakshmi, Saraswati, Gayatri, Parvati, Sita, Radha and Ganga in this Navratri. During Sadhana, the devotees chant mantras, do penance, and meditate, which destroys the obstacles in life.
