Gupt Navratri is a secret nine-day tantric Navratri during which the ten Mahavidyas are worshipped. It occurs twice a year — in Magh (January–February) and Ashadha (June–July).

Gupt Navratri 2026 - the Ashadha edition - begins on 15 July and runs until 23 July. This year, Ashtami - the most powerful day for Maa Baglamukhi - falls on 22 July 2026.

Most people are familiar with Chaitra and Shardiya Navratri. But Gupt Navratri - which comes twice a year - is considered far more powerful for tantric Sadhana. This blog covers: when Gupt Navratri starts and ends, what it involves, how to participate, and why Maa Baglamukhi's Sadhana is most effective during this window.

What Is Gupt Navratri?

Gupt Navratri is a secret (gupt) nine-day Navratri that occurs twice a year:

•       Magh Gupt Navratri - January–February

•       Ashadha Gupt Navratri - June–July

Where Chaitra and Shardiya Navratri involve public celebrations of the nine forms of Durga (Navdurga), Gupt Navratri is entirely different. 'Gupt' means hidden or secret. During this Navratri, the Das Mahavidyas - the ten tantric forms of the Divine Mother -are worshipped.

Gupt Navratri is not publicly celebrated. Its Sadhana is done quietly, without announcement - and this is precisely what concentrates the power of this window. The Sadhana performed here has a far more intense effect compared to regular Navratri.

What is Gupt Navratri ?

Gupt Navratri is a secret nine-day Navratri observed twice a year in Magh (January–February) and Ashadha (June–July). Unlike the publicly celebrated Chaitra and Shardiya Navratri, Gupt Navratri is a tantric worship period dedicated to the ten Mahavidyas — the ten fierce forms of the Divine Mother. The word 'gupt' means hidden or secret. The Sadhana performed during this window is done quietly, which concentrates and amplifies its power.

When is Gupt Navratri 2026 (Ashadha):

Start: 15 July 2026 (Wednesday) - Ghatasthapana

End: 23 July 2026 (Thursday) - Navami Parana

Ashtami (Maa Baglamukhi's day): 22 July 2026

What Is the Difference Between Gupt Navratri and Regular Navratri?

Why is Gupt Navratri considered more powerful? Because its Sadhana is not public. When millions celebrate Navratri together, the energy disperses outward. During Gupt Navratri, the energy stays contained - focused directly on your situation. And the Das Mahavidyas are far more fierce than the regular Navdurga - they are capable of eliminating a problem at its root.

Which Deities Are Worshipped During Gupt Navratri?

Gupt Navratri is dedicated to the Das Mahavidyas. A different Mahavidya is worshipped each day:

Maa Baglamukhi is the eighth among the Das Mahavidyas - which is why Ashtami, the eighth day, is her most powerful day. This year Ashtami falls on 22 July 2026. Performing her Sadhana on this day is considered the most auspicious puja of the entire year.

What Are the Benefits of Gupt Navratri?

Key benefits of performing Gupt Navratri Sadhana:

•       Victory over enemies: Stopping those who are working against you. Reducing the influence of the opposing party in court.

•       Protection from black magic: Protection and removal from active abhichara, evil eye, or tantric attack.

•       Success in court cases: Favourable outcomes in legal proceedings through Maa Baglamukhi's grace.

•       Success in exams and competitions: Building a spiritual shield for government exams, interviews, and elections.

•       Removing obstacles in business: Protection from partnership disputes, competition, and professional sabotage.

•       Mahavidya Sadhana: For those who wish to deepen their tantric connection with Maa Baglamukhi.

The benefits of Sadhana performed during the Gupt Navratri window are more concentrated and faster-acting than on ordinary days - because this is Maa Baglamukhi's own dedicated window.

Gupt Navratri Puja Vidhi - What Should One Do?

There are two ways to perform puja during Gupt Navratri:

1. Performing It at Home (Basic Puja Vidhi)

If you wish to perform basic puja at home during Gupt Navratri:

•       Bathe in the morning, wear clean clothes, and clean your puja room.

•       Install an image or yantra of Maa Baglamukhi.

•       Light a ghee lamp. Offer turmeric flowers and yellow flowers — Maa Baglamukhi is fond of the colour yellow.

•       Chant the Baglamukhi mantra: 'Om Hleem Baglamukhi Sarva Dushtanam Vacham Mukham Padam Stambhay Jihvaam Keelaya Buddhim Vinashaya Hleem Om Swaha' — minimum 108 times.

•       Perform Hawan if you have a hawan kund. If not, mantra chanting in front of the lamp is sufficient.

•       Continue this practice for all 9 days without a single break.

2. Getting It Done at a Siddha Peeth (Recommended)

Home puja holds power - but Sadhana performed by an experienced Acharya at an authentic Siddha Peeth has a far more concentrated effect. Especially when the situation is serious - a court case, black magic, or a long-standing problem.

Acharya Tiwari Chetan Guru personally conducts the complete nine-day Baglamukhi Sadhana during Gupt Navratri at Maa Baglamukhi Siddha Peeth, Nalkheda. You can participate from home as well - a live Sankalp is taken over WhatsApp.

what to do on gupt Navratri -

During Gupt Navratri, one should worship their chosen Mahavidya through puja, hawan, and mantra chanting - quietly, without telling others. For Maa Baglamukhi devotees, Ashtami - 22 July 2026 - is the most auspicious day. On this day, chanting her mantra 108 times, performing hawan, and offering puja with yellow flowers is most effective. For serious situations (court cases, black magic), getting it done by an experienced Acharya at a Siddha Peeth is more beneficial.

Baglamukhi Mantra During Gupt Navratri

The beej mantra and mool mantra of Maa Baglamukhi are most widely chanted during Gupt Navratri:

Baglamukhi Beej Mantra

Om Hleem Baglamukhi Devyai Namah

Chanting: 108 times daily. On a yellow seat, wearing yellow clothes, with yellow flowers.

Chanting this mantra across all 9 days of Gupt Navratri is considered most auspicious.

Gupt Navratri 2026 - What Will Happen at Nalkheda Siddha Peeth?

Acharya Tiwari Chetan Guru has personally conducted a nine-day Baglamukhi Anushthan at Maa Baglamukhi Siddha Peeth, Nalkheda every Ashadha Gupt Navratri since 2010 - without missing a single year.

What makes this place special is that the Baglamukhi idol at Nalkheda is Swayambhu -meaning it appeared naturally, not made by human hands. This is what distinguishes a Siddha Peeth from a regular temple. Maa Tara and Maa Matangi are also present alongside Maa Baglamukhi at this Peeth - three Mahavidyas together in a single sanctum. Such a confluence is very rare across all of India.
