Navratri 2022 Day 6: Maa Katyayani Puja Vidhi
Navratri 2022 Day 6: The sixth day of Navratri is October 1. On this day, devotees of Maa Durga worship Maa Katyayani, who killed the demon king Mahishasura.
The ongoing nine-day Navratri festival is being celebrated
with great fanfare across the country. During this time, Maa Durga devotees
worship her nine avatars, also known as Navdurgas. Each day is dedicated to a
different Goddess avatar. Goddess Shakti devotees worship Maa Katyayani on the
sixth day of Navratri. This year's sixth day is Saturday, October 1. Lord
Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva combined their energies to create Maa Katyayani, who
killed the demon Mahishasura, according to Hindu mythology. She is also known
as Warrior Goddess in this form.
Who is Maa Katyayani?
Maa Katyayani is regarded as one of Goddess Durga's most
violent manifestations. Because the Goddess killed the demon king Mahishasura,
she is known as Mahishasurmardini. She is depicted riding a lion with four
hands holding a lotus flower and sword on the left side and Abhaya and Varada
Mudras on the right. Maa Katyayani is thought to be the destroyer of evil.
According to the Vamana Purana, Maa Katyayani was created
from the combined energies of Lord Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, and other Gods after
they were enraged by the demon Mahishasura and his wrongdoings. They manifested
their rage as energy rays, which crystallised in Katyayana Rishi's hermitage
and were then given proper form. This is why this form of Maa Durga is also
known as Katyayani, or Katyayana's daughter.
Rishi Katyayana was an ardent devotee of Goddess Shakti,
according to mythology texts. Goddess Durga granted his wish of becoming a
father to Maa Durga after being impressed by his devotion and adoration. She
became his daughter, grew up to be strong, beautiful, and a skilled fighter,
and then killed Mahishasura.
Navratri Day 6 Significance:
Brihaspati is ruled by Maa Katyayani. She represents
intelligence and peace. It is said that the blessings of Goddess Katyayani can

Furthermore, on the day Maa Katyayani is worshipped during Navratri, unmarried
girls fast in order to find a husband of their choice.
