श्वेते वृषे समारूढा श्वेताम्बरधरा शुचिः।
महागौरी शुभं दद्यान्महादेवप्रमोददा॥

आदिशक्ति माँ दुर्गा के अष्टम स्वरूप माँ महागौरी की आराधना से साधक के जीवन में पवित्रता, आत्मसंयम और शक्ति का संचार होता है।

जगज्जननी माँ से प्रार्थना है कि सभी श्रद्धालुओं के जीवन में सुख और शांति का वास हो, उनकी मनोकामनाएं पूर्ण हों तथा घर-आंगन नई आशा व नव ऊर्जा से आलोकित हो।

जय माँ महागौरी।
