Navratri 2024: Massive Devotee Rush at Jhandewalan Temple for Ashtami-Navami Prayer

In Sanatan Dharma, Durga Navami holds special significance. It is also known as Maha Navami and Ram Navami. On this day, devotees worship the Siddhidatri form of Goddess Durga. Those observing the Navratri fast also perform Kanya Pujan, where young girls are honored as a symbol of the Goddess. This is the last day of the Navratri festival, making it particularly important for rituals like Havan (sacred fire ceremony). Performing Havan on Navami is considered highly auspicious and holds deep religious significance. Devotees offer prayers and perform Havan to conclude their Navratri observances, seeking blessings for prosperity and success. The rituals and prayers on this day are performed with great devotion to mark the conclusion of the Navratri celebrations. The exact timing or shubh muhurat (auspicious time) for performing these rituals plays an important role in ensuring the divine blessings are received effectively.
