The name “Gupta” means hidden or secret, indicating that this Navratri is about interior spiritual practice, intense meditation, and personal devotion to the goddess.
During these nine days, devotees, yogis, and tantriks perform particular sadhanas and reciting religious scriptures such as the ‘Durga Saptshati,’ ‘Devi Mahatmya,’ and ‘Shrimad-Devi Bhagwat to receive the Divine Mother’s blessings and spiritual growth.
