There are two times- more like spring and fall- the autumn date is better known and seems to be celebrated more in South India and now in the States. I've also read of different myths attached to these two different times. In 2007 the Vasanta Navaratri (Spring) begins on March 19 and the Autumn Navaratri begins October 12. Not to be confused with Diwali which this year is on November 15.

Can you tell me what the dates for 2007 will be? 6/21 and 12/21 or when?
