Which Rajasthani wish to send to whom
The same greeting can sound loving or too casual depending on who reads it. Here is a quick guide.
For parents and elders
Use the respectful आप forms and end with "sa".
For friends and cousins
The warm थारे forms sound close and affectionate.
For the family WhatsApp group
Wishes that greet everyone at once.
On Ghatasthapana, Sun 11 Oct
When the kalash is set up and the jyot is lit.
For a Garba or Dandiya night
Short and lively, good for a status.
On Ashtami and Navami, Mon 19 Oct

आप or थारे? Rajasthani, like Hindi, has a respectful and a familiar "you". Wishes with आप, आपरे, आपणे and a closing सा are right for parents, in-laws, teachers and elders. Wishes with थारे, थारो, थारी are affectionate and close, for friends, siblings and the children of the family.

How Rajasthan celebrates Navratri
In Rajasthan, Navratri begins as it does across north India, with Ghatasthapana: a kalash is set up, जवारा (barley) is sown in a clay bowl and an akhand jyot is lit for the nine days. Families visit the temple of their kuldevi, keep fasts, sing bhajans of Mata Rani at night jagrans and feed young girls on Ashtami or Navami. Greetings are exchanged in the family's own tongue, which is why a wish in Rajasthani lands so much warmer than one in standard Hindi.
Shila Devi Temple
The goddess of the Kachhwaha rulers, inside Amer Fort. The temple is at its busiest during the Navratri fair, when devotees climb up to the fort for darshan.
Karni Mata Temple
The temple of Karni Mata, a form of Durga, known for the thousands of kabas (rats) that live in it. Fairs are held during both Navratris each year.
Kota Dussehra Mela
Navratri leads into Kota's Dussehra fair, one of the largest in India, with tall Ravana effigies, a long fair and cultural evenings.
Garba in Mewar and Vagad
Southern Rajasthan shares its border and its music with Gujarat, so neighbourhood Garba and Dandiya nights are a big part of Navratri here.

Rajasthani Navratri wishes: questions people ask
How do you say Happy Navratri in Rajasthani?
The most common forms are "नवरात्रा री घणी-घणी बधायां" (Navratra ri ghani-ghani badhayan, many many Navratri greetings), "शुभ नवरात्रा" (Shubh Navratra) and "नवरात्रा री राम-राम सा" (Navratra ri Ram-Ram sa). For elders, add Khamma Ghani: "नवरात्रा री खम्मा घणी सा".
What does Khamma Ghani mean?
Khamma Ghani is Rajasthan's respectful greeting, used when meeting elders, guests and people you want to honour. It is often explained as wishing someone much well-being, and it is answered with "Khamma Ghani sa" or "Ghani Khamma". In these wishes it works as "warm, respectful greetings".
Is Rajasthani the same as Marwari?
Marwari is the most widely spoken variety of Rajasthani. Other varieties include Mewari around Udaipur, Dhundhari around Jaipur, Hadoti around Kota and Shekhawati. These 26 wishes use common Marwari-leaning forms such as थारो, री and घणी that are understood across the state; spellings vary from region to region.
Which wishes should I send to elders?
Choose the wishes that use the respectful आप, आपरे or आपणे and end with "sa": numbers 1, 2, 3, 5, 11, 16, 19 and 26. Wishes with थारे or थारो are warm and familiar, better for friends, siblings and younger relatives.
When is Navratri 2026?
Sharad Navratri 2026 begins with Ghatasthapana on Sunday 11 October; the muhurat in New Delhi is 6:19 to 10:12 AM. Durga Ashtami and Maha Navami fall on Monday 19 October in India, and Dussehra (Vijayadashami) is on Tuesday 20 October.
