During Navratri, the vehicle on which Maa Durga arrives and departs has special religious significance. Maa Durga’s arrival vehicle is decided by the day on which Navratri begins. Similarly, her departure vehicle depends on the day Vijayadashami falls. So come, let’s find out which vehicle Maa Durga will arrive and depart on during Shardiya Navratri 2026 and what it signifies.
This year during Shardiya Navratri, Mata Rani will arrive on an elephant. According to the Devi Bhagwat Purana, if Navratri begins on a Sunday or Monday, then Maa Durga arrives on an elephant. According to the Panchang, the Pratipada Tithi of Ashwin Shukla Paksha will be on Sunday, October 11, 2026; that’s why, according to religious beliefs, Maa Durga’s vehicle will be an elephant. Maa Durga’s arrival on an elephant is considered to be very auspicious. It is believed that when Maa arrives on an elephant, it brings happiness, prosperity, and growth in wealth and grains. It also brings good rainfall, which helps increase farming and agricultural production.
According to religious beliefs, when Vijayadashami falls on a Saturday or Tuesday, Maa Durga departs on a horse. However, departure on a horse is not considered auspicious. It indicates mental restlessness and disturbance. This year, Vijayadashami will be on Tuesday, October 20.
