The most revered nine days of Devi (Maa Durga) or Navratri is an Indian festival celebrated to symbolise the victory of goddess Shakti over evil. The festival is celebrated during nine auspicious days as per the Hindu lunar calendar. The highlight of festival is the nine day fast people observe to express their obeisance to the goddess. While all the nine days of Navratri are special, each day has its own significance and is dedicated to incarnations of Maa Durga.

Devi Puja (Katyayani Puja)

Day 6 is dedicated to goddess Katyayani. According to the scriptures, goddess Parvati took the form of Katyayani to destroy Mahishasura, who was a demon. And, Katyayani was the most violent form of goddess Parvati. This form of Maa Parvati is also known as warrior goddess.

The Katyayani devi puja starts by applying tilak to your forehead and drinking holy water by accepting it on your palm. Further, you offer flowers and water to the goddess Katyayani. After flowers, offer the goddess some chandan (sandalwood powder), flowers and some akshat (raw grains of rice) mixed in water. Now, bathe the idol of the goddess with cow milk, curd, honey and sugar. Lastly, bathe the goddess in the holy water. Put tika on her and make her wear new clothes along with chudi, sindoor, kajal and chandan. Now light the dhoop and sing Katyayani aarti.

Devi Colour

Katyayani was the daughter of the sage Kata and that's why she was named Katayani. And since Katayani was extremely brave and courageous and hence, the colour of the day is orange - fiery and strong.

Devi Aarti

Jay jay Ambein jay Kaatyayani, Jay jagmaata jag ki maharaani ||
Baijnaath sathan tumhaara, Waha vardaati naam pukara ||
Kai naam hai kai dhaam hai, Yah sathaan bhi to sukhdaam hai ||
Har mandir mai jayot tumhaari, Kahin yogeshwari mahima nayaari ||
Har jagah utsav hote rahte, Har mandir main bhakat hai kahte ||
Katyayani rakshak kaya ki, Ganthi kaate moh maaya ki ||
Jhoothe moh se churaane wali, Apna naam japaane wali ||
Brahspatiwar ko pooja kariyo, Naam Katyayaani ka dhariyo ||
Har sankat ko door karegi, Bhandaare bharpoor karegi ||
Jo bhi vandna maa ko pukare, Katyayani ma sab kashat nivare ||
