Sandhi Puja 2024 - Story, Legend, Importance and Celebrations

Sandhi Puja is an important tradition that is followed during Navratri festivities. It is regarded as one of the most significant rituals of Durga Puja and this puja is performed at a peculiarly specific time, i.e. during the time when Ashtami tithi ends and Navami tithi begins. The last 24 minutes during Ashtami tithi and the first 24 minutes during Navami tithi together make Sandhikhan i.e. the exact time when Goddess Durga took the avatar of Goddess Chamunda and annihilated the demons Chanda and Munda.
