On the day of Durga Visarjan, the idol of the Goddess is immersed with respect, and the Navratri fast (Vrat) is also broken (Parana). This year, the Vrat Parana will be performed after 6:15 AM on October 2nd. If the Dashami Tithi and Shravana Nakshatra coincide in the morning, the morning period is considered especially auspicious and significant.
Correct Method for Idol Immersion
On the day of immersion, wake up during Brahma Muhurta, perform ablutions, and then worship Goddess Durga with due rituals, offering bhog. Offer vermilion (sindoor) to the Goddess, and married women should also apply vermilion to each other, sharing good wishes. Following this, with Aarti and cheers, the idol of Goddess Durga should be immersed in a pond or river with due ceremony.
Thus, this auspicious occasion of Durga Visarjan in 2025 not only holds religious significance but also enhances joy and collective participation among devotees through traditional customs and social celebrations.
