Navratri Mahotsav Day 6
30/09/14
Chath
is dedicated to Devi Durga also known as Devi Katyayani. Legend has it that a
seer by the name of Kata went through long years of penance and austerity in order
to receive a boon from Mother Goddess. He wished to father a virtuous daughter
who was an incarnation of Maa Durga.
It is said that the Goddess was so satisfied with Kata and his devotion that
she promised to be reappear as his daughter and hence Katyayani was born to
Kata as an avatar of Durga. The
sixth day devi puja is called Maha Sashti and the colour of the
Goddess for today is Royal Blue.
