Maa Siddhidatri Maa
Maa Siddhidatri is the Goddess who grants wishes of those who long for spiritual bliss. Maa Siddhidatri is sometimes also known as AdiShakti, who is worshipped by Lord Shiva. She holds the chakra and gada in her right hand. And she holds the Shanka and lotus in her left hands. This form of the Mother Goddess is seated on the lotus. Maa Siddhidatri governs Shukla Paksha (waxing phase of the Moon), and hence, those suffering from the ill-effects of the planet worship her to rid themselves of its adverse influence.
