6 min read · Updated 26 Jun 2026

Durga Ashtami and Maha Navami are among the most powerful and sacred days of Navratri, when devotees worship the divine feminine energy of Goddess Durga in her full glory. These days are filled with prayer, devotion and the joyful tradition of Kanya Pujan. A greeting carrying your own name and photo makes these holy days feel personal and warm, and InPik lets you create one in just a few taps.

What are Durga Ashtami and Maha Navami

Durga Ashtami is the eighth day and Maha Navami is the ninth day of the nine-day Navratri festival, which falls in the Hindu month of Ashwin, usually in September or October. These days mark the peak of devotion to Goddess Durga, who is worshipped as the slayer of the demon Mahishasura and the protector of the universe.

On Ashtami and Navami, many families perform Kanya Pujan, where young girls are worshipped as living forms of the Goddess, given food, gifts and blessings. Devotees offer special prayers, light lamps and recite the praises of Durga. These days celebrate the victory of good over evil and the boundless power and grace of the Divine Mother who removes fear and grants strength.

Why a personalised greeting feels special

Navratri is a time of devotion and togetherness, so a greeting that shows someone's name and a bright photo carries real warmth. A card made just for your family member or friend feels heartfelt, unlike an ordinary forward that everyone receives. On these holy days, a personal blessing tells loved ones you thought of them, and such cards are happily saved and shared again within family groups.
