Navratri is celebrated from the first to ninth date of
Ashwin Shukla Paksha of the Hindu Calendar for the worship of Goddess Durga, a
festival of worship, dance and music celebrated over a period of nine nights. Goddess
Durga is believed to exist in many forms like Goddess Bhavani, Jagdamba,
Mahakali ...
I have always seen my mother perform special pooja on
these days with lots of sweets and festive foods waiting to be eaten by us. But when
my turn came i decided to perform pooja on all 9 days with a special naivedhyam each
day for the devi .On the 10th day i have a big list to do......I couldnt take pictures of the
first two days pooja .
As a part of this i would also love to share the
different stories and different avataras of Maa Durga which i have seen or read or
heard from various sources..But the main source would be my Granny(Fathers
mother).So as of now am in the process and soon would be posting those wonderful
stories for all the people who are interested in mythology......Keep Watching!!!!

Wheat Rava Payas to the Devi along with her Stotras.I have just linked up the stotras
where u can listen to them or play them during puja.
