The nine-day festival of Navratri, or Navaratri, in Hindu religion dedicated to the nine manifestations of Goddess Durga. Navratri 2013 dates are from October 5 to October 13, 2013. The most important Navratri in a year is the Sharadiya Navratra which begins on the first day of the bright half of Ashvin or Ashwayuja (September-October) as per traditional Hindu calendar.
Apart from the Navratri in September – October, there are three other Navratris in a year. The most important among the three is the Chaitra Navratri or the Navaratri in March-April. This is also known as Vasant Navratri or Ram Navaratri.
The other two Navratris are Magh Navratri (January – February) and Ashad Navratri (June – July). These two Navratris are also known as Gupt Navratri and is mainly observed only in certain regions of North India .
Thus there are four important Navratris in a year in a traditional Hindu lunar calendar.

But a small confusion. July 12th to July 19th are only eight days. is it okay. your information also matches many other sources but no explanation given for eight instead of nine days.
@ Sangeeta...This is because Shasti and Saptami occurs on the same day July 17, 2010.

I Would like to add one more Navratris that is Sawan Navratri that is mainly celebrated in north india and people generally visit Devi peeths : Naina devi, vaishno devi, chamanda devi, Chintapurni, Kalka ji, Jwala Ji, Mansa devi. "Sawan ka chala " is the famous name given to this period of navaratri adn many devotees go even bare footed to worship Devis fron their home to fulfil their Mannats.....

I want to ask that i m doing navrati fast & my manseuration period started on forth day of navrati now how can i complete my fasts ritiuals? please explain the proper way of navratri katha & kanya pujan.
Yes you can complete the fasts. You cannot do puja as per most traditions during menustration periods. For Navratri Katha read Devi Mahatmyam. Kanya puja rituals varies from region to region. So talk with elders in your community.
Thanks :)
we are planning a wedding on 21st oct during Navratri as all ten days are auspicious please advice....

Thank you
Which are the 9 colors for 2012
Thanks so much for this year info.
Not sure if those dates are correct for those living in the USA... The pratipat begins on October 15 and Navami and Dasami are both on October 23. The dates I have mentioned are for US only.
The dates in the article seem to apply only to Bharat.
Thank you so much for your time and great work!
thanks...for the excellent divine knowledge :)
Only 8 days this year as well!!
It is an amazing that how our Hindu calendar can be constructed few months/year ago by observing the moon cycle.
