Sharada Navarathri Mahotsavam 2026 Day 10 - Vijaya Dasami

Tuesday, October 20, 2026 — Vijaya Dasami

9:00 AM: Sri Medha Suktha Homam
10:00 AM: Sri Durga Abhishekam
11:00 AM: Lalitha Sahasranama Archana
12:00 PM: Aarathi
7:00 PM: Samuhika Vidyarambham, followed by Saraswathi Archana and Deeparadhana

The ten-day journey concludes with Sri Medha Suktha Homam, invoking divine intelligence, memory, comprehension, and wisdom. Medha is more than the ability to collect information—it is the sacred capacity to understand, retain, apply, and share knowledge appropriately.

Performing this Homam on Vijaya Dasami is especially meaningful because the day is associated with Vidyarambham—the auspicious beginning of education and new learning. Vijaya Dasami represents the victory of knowledge over ignorance and is considered one of the most auspicious days to begin education, music, dance, spiritual study, or another meaningful pursuit. Children, students, teachers, artists, and all those beginning a new intellectual or creative journey seek the blessings of Goddess Saraswathi on this sacred day.
