Explanation

The five Navaratris are Sharad (September-October), Vasant (March-April), Magha (January-February), Ashada (July-August), and one Gupta (hidden) Navaratri. Sharad Navaratri, also called Maha Navaratri, is the most widely celebrated and occurs just before Dussehra during the lunar month of Ashwin. Vasant Navaratri occurs in spring, Ashada in monsoon, and Sheet is not one of the five.
