Today marks the beginning of the grand celebration of the Katyayani Puja at Durga Bari. Katyayani is the sixth form of Goddess Durga among the nine forms of Navadurga. She is worshipped for three days during this festival. Unlike other days of the Navaratri festival, Katyayani Puja is not observed on the third day, but on the first, second, and fourth days.
The Katyayani Puja begins on the last day of the Kartik month, starting from Adhibas and Pahela Agrahayan. The entire atmosphere at Durga Bari is filled with excitement and devotion as devotees come together to celebrate this auspicious occasion. The puja rituals include traditional prayers, offerings, and cultural performances to honor Goddess Katyayani.
The Katyayani Puja is a significant event for the Hindu community, symbolizing the victory of good over evil. It is a time for spiritual reflection, family gatherings, and community bonding. The festival not only brings people closer to their faith but also promotes unity and harmony among all. As the celebrations kick off today, devotees are looking forward to a joyous and blessed Katyayani Puja at Durga Bari.
