Religious festivities dedicated to the goddess Tulja Bhavani and other deities are being observed across Maharashtra during the Navratri festival.

In early October, celebrations included a 10-day festival at the Sant Shri Gajanan Maharaj Temple in Trimurti Nagar, featuring daily aarti, devotional music, and ceremonies such as Homahavan. In Vadyzire, a traditional palanquin procession was held as part of a 50-day walking pilgrimage from Ghodegaon to Tuljapur.

By mid-October, large crowds of devotees were reported at various sites. The Kurlai Devi temple in Safale saw a significant influx of worshippers from several surrounding regions, with festivities including Garba dance and cultural programs. Additionally, pilgrims, including many women, trekked to the Kalasubai peak to participate in Navratri observances.
