Today, it is the ninth day of the Navratri festival which is called Maha Navami. It is the final day of worship before Vijaya Dashami tomorrow, the end of Navratri.
On the day of Navami, Goddess Durga is worshipped in different forms in different parts of the country. While most people worship Maa Siddhidatri, some worship Maa Saraswati—the deity of knowledge and wisdom too. Maa Siddhidatri is the Goddess who grants the wishes of those who long for spiritual bliss. Maa Siddhidatri is sometimes also known as AdiShakti.
In the 9 days of Navratri, the revering of the nine forms of Goddess Durga - Shailaputri, Brahmacharini, Chandharghanta, Kushmanda, Skandamata, Katyayani, Kalratri, Mahagauri, and Siddhidathri - must be adhered as per the divine law mentioned in sacred scriptures.
