(Deepshikha Gautam, Intern Journalist) Kanpur: This time Navratri will start a month late due to Adhikmaas. On September 17 last year, Shardiya Navaratri started from the next day of the Sarvapitra Amavasya. This time Pitrupaksha started from 2 September which ended on 17 September. From the 18 September onwards, there was Adhikmaas. It is 28 days old. No festival is celebrated in this interval.
Therefore, the common man will have to wait a full month. The Shardiya Navratri will begin on 17 October. Every 36 months, ie, one month in three years comes of Adhikmaas.
This time Diwali will be celebrated on November 14, due to Navratri starting a month late. Whereas it was on 27 October last year. All the major festivals after Ganeshotsav on 22 August due to the overhaul will be delayed 10 to 15 days compared to the previous year. By the way, the Brahmins and the common people are also expressing happiness over the late commencement of Navratri, because it is expected that by then the Corona epidemic may be over and that they can celebrate the festival well. The common people are also happy that Deepawali will come late this time and they will get an opportunity to prepare.
This time the Navaratri festival will be celebrated in a different way. The mother will be worshiped by following the rules of lockdown. It is believed that Navaratri will be banned from garba and any kind of moving ceremony. The height of Durga idols shall not exceed 6 feet. A statue can be installed in a pandal of 10 x 10 max. Guidelines have also been issued by the Home Department in relation to the operation time of markets and shops, under which the remaining shops will have to be closed at 8 pm, except for the shops related to medical stores, restaurants, restaurants, dhabas, ration, and catering. Different states will announce rules in this regard at their level.
