Amla Navami 2025, also known as Akshaya Navami, will be observed on Tuesday, 25 November 2025.
It falls on the Shukla Paksha Navami Tithi of the Kartika month, just two days before Dev Uthani Ekadashi. On this day, devotees worship the Amla (Indian Gooseberry) tree, which is believed to be the abode of Lord Vishnu.
🌸 Significance of Amla Navami
Amla Navami, also called Aonla Navami, holds a special place in Hindu tradition.
It is believed that worshipping the Amla tree on this day removes all sins and grants health, prosperity, and longevity. The Amla fruit is considered sacred and represents purity, nourishment, and spiritual strength.
According to the Skanda Purana, Lord Vishnu resides in the Amla tree, and hence worshipping it on this day is equivalent to performing worship of all deities.
