CM Yogi’s message highlighted the religious significance of worshipping Maa Kushmanda during Navratri. Devotees seek the Goddess’s blessings for strength, good health, happiness and success in their lives.
According to Hindu tradition, Maa Kushmanda created the universe with her divine smile, bringing light and energy to the cosmos. Devotees worship her as a source of creative energy, warmth and vitality.
On Navratri’s fourth day, devotees across the country visit temples, perform special pujas, chant devotional mantras and offer prayers to the Goddess. Many also observe fasts and perform religious rituals to seek her blessings for their families.
Shardiya Navratri is a nine-day Hindu festival that honours the nine manifestations of Goddess Durga. Each day, devotees perform rituals and offer prayers to celebrate the divine feminine power.
The festival brings communities together through prayers, devotional music and traditional celebrations, as devotees seek peace, prosperity and protection.
Shardiya Navratri ends with Vijayadashami, or Dussehra, which symbolises the victory of good over evil and the triumph of righteousness.
