Mahesh Navami 2025 Date and Muhurat

The roots of Mahesh Navami go back to Yudhishthira Samvat 9, when 72 Kshatriyas, who had been cursed and turned into stone, were brought back to life by the divine grace of Lord Mahesha and Goddess Parvati. According to the legend, Lord Shiva blessed them, saying:

“From today, our divine presence will remain in your lineage. You shall be called Maheshwari.” This powerful moment marked the spiritual origin of the Maheshwari community, who honor Mahesh Navami as Vanshotpatti Diwas – the day their sacred lineage began.
