The timer above counts down to midnight at the start of the festival day in your device’s own time zone, so it is correct whether you are in Canada, India, the UK or anywhere else. Keep your phone or computer on automatic time for the most accurate count.
Planning tips: use the countdown to book travel early, order gifts or food in time, plan time off work or school, and send greetings a day or two before Navratri so they arrive while people are preparing.
Worked example: on Thursday, 1 October 2026 at 6:00 pm the countdown shows 9 days and 6 hours, because nine full days plus the six hours until midnight remain before Navratri.
