This year Magha Gupta Navratri falls on a Sunday, 19 days later than 2026 (2026-01-19) — typical lunar-calendar drift.
Falling on a Sunday gives the day a Surya emphasis — Sun-ruled rites and copper offerings carry extra weight.
The 2026 observance fell on Monday, 2026-01-19 — this year arrives 19 days later in the Gregorian calendar, the Adhika-masa pattern when an intercalary lunar month pushes the cycle forward.
Looking ahead to 2028, Magha Gupta Navratri will fall on Thursday, 2028-01-27 (11 days earlier than this year). So planning ritual schedules across years means anchoring to the tithi rather than the Gregorian date.

The Gupta (secret) Navratri in the month of Magha is dedicated to the worship of the ten Mahavidyas – the tantric forms of the Divine Mother. Unlike the popular Chaitra and Sharad Navratris, this is observed primarily by tantric practitioners.
How to Observe
Nine days of worship of the Mahavidyas (Kali, Tara, Shodashi, Bhuvaneshwari, Bhairavi, Chhinnamasta, Dhumavati, Bagalamukhi, Matangi, Kamala). Tantric rituals, mantra sadhana, and havan. Kept private ("gupta") by practitioners.
Significance
The Gupta Navratris are considered even more powerful than the main Navratris for tantric sadhana. Magha Gupta Navratri falls in winter and is especially potent for mantra siddhi and spiritual awakening.
