The month of September 2025 has begun on Monday, September 1, with Bhadrapada Shukla Navami Tithi, and it is set to be spiritually significant. According to the Hindu calendar, this month will witness the grand conclusion of Ganeshotsav, the year’s second lunar eclipse, the onset of Pitru Paksha, and Sharadiya Navratri.
The 11-day Ganeshotsav will conclude with Ganesh Visarjan on Anant Chaturdashi (September 6). A day later, on September 7, the second lunar eclipse of 2025 will take place, coinciding with Bhadrapada Purnima, and will be visible across India. From the next day, Pitru Paksha rituals will begin, dedicating 14 days to honouring and offering prayers to ancestors.
With the conclusion of Pitru Paksha on Amavasya (September 21), the festive spirit will rise again as Sharadiya Navratri begins on September 22, marked by Kalash Sthapana and nine days of devotion to Goddess Durga.
Alongside these major events, September will also see observances such as Onam, Vishwakarma Puja, and key vrats (fasts) like Ekadashi, Pradosh, and Shivratri.
