Navratri Aarti, Stuti and Mantra Collection
A curated Navratri reading collection for the nine forms of Durga, a complete commonly sung Aarti, and a complete common reading of Siddha Kunjika Stotram.
Navratri practice differs by region, family, and lineage. Use this hub to choose a complete reader or the explicitly curated nine-form Navdurga collection, then consult its source card for the version and variants.
Reading through the nine nights
Many households read one Devi text each evening of Navratri and close with the Aarti. A simple plan is to begin with the Navdurga Stuti, which names the nine forms in order, read the Siddha Kunjika Stotram or the Durga Chalisa as your main text, and finish with Ambe Tu Hai Jagdambe. None of these is required; the order here is a reading suggestion, not a ritual rule.
Using the reader during puja
Each page shows the Devanagari text with Roman transliteration and a plain-English meaning, so a family member who does not read Devanagari can follow along. Auto-scroll keeps the text moving at a steady pace while your hands hold the thali, and the Pooja Queue lets you line up several texts in the order you read them. For dates and the day-by-day observance, see the Navratri festival page.
