Maa Katyayani on the 6th Day of Navratri

Aren’t you excited to celebrate the festival of Navratri this year? If yes, join us to celebrate it by worshipping all forms of Maa Durga. Navratri 2024 Day 6 rituals are dedicated to the Goddess Katyayani. 

People worship Goddess Katyayani to overcome fear, mental health and stress. At night, people dress up in bright coloured clothes to also perform Garba till midnight and conclude the day with aarti of Maa Katyayani. 


Maa Katyayani is the sixth form of Maa Durga, and therefore we worship her on the 6th day of Navratri. As per myths, Maa Katyayani is the violent form of the Maa Durga, who was created by gods to demolish the demon Mahishasura.

The Legend

There was a sage (Rushi) named Katyayan, who invoked Goddess Parvati to take birth in his house as his daughter. To fulfill his desire, the sage undertook severe penance for a period of thousand-years. Goddess Parvati was appeased with his worship and accepted his wish to be born as his girl child. 

The infant form of Goddess was nurtured by the sage. When she grew up, she eliminated numerous demons who created havoc on Earth. This form of Maa Parvati came to be known as ‘Maa Katyayani’, the girl who was born as a blessing to sage Katyayan.

Importance of Worshipping Maa Katyayani

Maa Katyayani is also known as one of the fearless forms of Hindu deities, who protects her devotees from evil souls. People perform Maa Katyayani Puja in order to remove obstacles of fear and stress. 

Unmarried girls worship Maa Katyayani to get the desired life partner. Persons facing impediments or delays in marriage may worship Maa Katyayani for an early marriage. Those in marriage may also worship Maa Katyayani to resolve marriage-related problems.
