Drik's Kolkata page says the Sharad Ghatasthapana muhurat 'falls on Amavasya Tithi due to non availability of Pratipada Muhurta'. The Sharad Navami and Dashami dates come from the Kolkata page only. Drik's Bengal Durga Puja calendar, though, has Maha Navami on Saturday 9 October and Vijaya Dashami on Sunday 10 October; see our Durga Puja 2027 page, and check your panjika.
Navratri in Bengal
Sharad Navratri begins on the first day of the bright fortnight of Ashvin, lasts nine nights and ends with Vijayadashami. Bengali Hindus celebrate this Navratri as Durga Puja, their most important annual festival. The last day of Chaitra (Vasanta) Navratri is Rama Navami. (Source: Wikipedia, Navaratri)
In West Bengal, Basanti Puja, Annapurna Puja and Ram Navami follow one another in Chaitra. Basanti Puja thus falls in the month of Chaitra; Drik's Chaitra Navratri page has no separate 'Basanti Puja' listing. (Source: Wikipedia, Chaitra)
