કાત્યાયિની માતા નવરાત્રી નું છઠ્ઠો દિવસ

Katyayani Mata is worshipped on the sixth day of Navratri. Goddess Parvati took this form to kill the demon Mahishasura. This form is considered quite violent and hence, Maa Katyayani is also known as the warrior goddess.

About Katyayani

Katyayani Maa rides a majestic lion. She is depicted with 4 arms, where the left 2 arms carry lotus & a sword, and right 2 arms stay in Varada & Abhaya Mudras. The Goddess is draped in a red attire.

Legend

The Goddess got this name Katyayini because she was born to the Katyayana Rishi. Some texts also described that she is an Avatar of Goddess Shakti and got this name because Rishi Katyayana was the first one to worship her.

When the world was in danger due to the atrocities of Mahishasura, Goddess Katyayani slew him. As soon as she arrived in front of the Demon Mahishasura, she dismounted herself from the lion being armed with all the weapons. The demon took the form of a bull and the goddess sprang over his back. With her tender feet, she pushed his head down and then slew his neck. That’s why she has also got the name Mahishasuramardini (the Mahishasura;s slayer).

Astrological Aspect

Planet Jupiter (Brihaspati) is ruled by the Goddess Katyayani. Worshipping her helps in pacifying the ill effects of this planet.
