Chaitra Navratri 2026 Akhand Jyoti Niyam: The holy festival of Chaitra Navratri has started from today. Today is the first day of Navratri. Navratri will continue till 27th March. Today, along with the installation of the Kalash in the morning, people have lit the Akhand Jyot during the worship of Goddess Durga. Akhand Jyot is lit for full nine days. It is believed that the Akhand Jyot should keep burning for nine days without breaking. This flame is seen as a sign of the presence of Mother Goddess.

In such a situation, all the rules related to it should be completely taken care of and followed. However, many times it happens that unknowingly or due to some reason this eternal flame gets extinguished. Due to this, fear resides in the minds of the devotees of the Mother Goddess. Devotees start thinking that nothing inauspicious will happen, but they should not panic if the Akhad Jyot gets extinguished. Let us know what should be done in such a situation?

Do this work if the eternal flame goes out

If the Akhand Jyot gets extinguished suddenly or unknowingly, then remember Mother Durga in your mind. After this, remove every fear and doubt from your mind. Don't even think about any untoward incident. Because in the house where Mother Goddess comes and she is worshipped, Mother's blessings always remain there. When the eternal light is extinguished, pray to Goddess Bhagwati for forgiveness. Also, pray to your mother in your mind that O Mother, you may once again reside in the light. After this, light the Akhand Jyot again.

Why is the Akhand Jyot lit for nine days?

Burning of Akhand Jyot in the house is considered a sign of removal of darkness from the house. At the same time, it also indicates that there is light of positivity everywhere. Not only this, this unbroken flame which burns for nine days is also considered a symbol of knowledge. This flame also shows the continuity of life.
