Navratri 2025: Day 9 Rituals And Significance Of Maa Siddhidatri
Navratri is one of India’s most vibrant festivals, celebrated over nine nights to honour Goddess Durga and her nine forms. Each day has its spiritual significance, and the ninth day, known as Navratri Day 9 or Maha Navami, is dedicated to Maa Siddhidatri , the goddess who bestows supernatural powers, spiritual wisdom, and enlightenment.
Significance of Maa Siddhidatri
Maa Siddhidatri represents divine completeness and spiritual empowerment . Her four arms hold sacred symbols: a lotus (purity), mace (strength), discus (knowledge), and conch shell (sound of creation). Worshipping her is believed to grant devotees the eight Siddhis, or supernatural abilities, while fostering inner growth, wisdom, and personal transformation. Siddhidatri is also associated with Lord Shiva, who is said to have attained his powers through her blessings.
Navratri Day 9 Rituals
The ninth day is marked by special rituals such as Kanya Poojan, where nine young girls symbolising the nine forms of Durga are worshipped with food, gifts, and blessings. Devotees also perform pujas and yagnas, offering fruits, sweets, nuts, and dry fruits. Traditional offerings like rice pudding (kheer) and laddoos are common. Early morning rituals include cleaning the home, decorating the altar, and preparing prasad for the goddess.
Devotees often wear purple, the colour associated with ambition, luxury, and spiritual growth. This enhances the connection to Siddhidatri’s energy and encourages the pursuit of higher goals in life.
Mantras and Prayers
