Chaitra Navaratri is from April 13 to 21, 2021. Chaitra Navaratri falls on the first day of Chaitra month heralding the New Year. While Shardiya Navratri ends with Dussehra, Chaitra Navratri ends with Ram Navami. In many regions the festival falls after the spring harvest, and in others during the harvest. In 2021, the Lunar New Year and Solar New Year dates have coincided and several of the Indian festivals are falling on April 13/14, 2021.
