During Navratri, devotees worship all nine forms of Maa Vaishnodevi, starting with Maa Shailputri on Day 1. The day begins with Ghatasthapana (Kalash Sthapana) and Ganesh Vandana, followed by rituals, prayers, and offerings, concluding with the Aarti.

Maa Shailputri’s preferred flower is Jasmine, which should be offered during the puja.
