Mahasaptami 2024: Significance and rituals
Mahasaptami during Navratri and Durga Puja is very important for Maa Durga’s devotees. On this day Maa Kalaratri - one of the divine forms of Maa Durga - is worshipped. Also known as Goddess Shubhankari, devotees worship her because she can destroy all darkness and bring peace. She also removes the effects of Shani on her devotees’ life and brings them happiness.
Navapatrika, Mahasnan and Pran Pratishtha are some of the rituals of the festival. During Navapatrika, nine plants are tied together and taken to the river Ganges for a bath before sunrise. They are turmeric, bel, Ashoka, Jayanti, pomegranate, banana, paddy, colocasia and arum. They represent the 8 goddesses that Maa Durga created to be her warriors in the battle against Mahishasura and the 9th plant is Maa Durga herself.
During Mahasnan, devotees place a mirror in front of Maa Durga’s idol and then the mirror is bathed. Here the mirror is treated as Maa Durga herself.
During Pran Pratishtha, a pot is filled with holy water and a coconut surrounded by five mango leaves is placed on top of it. It is kept in front of the idol of Maa Durga. Then the priest consecrates it with the spirit of the Goddess by chanting divine hymns. After that the Goddess is worshipped with 16 special items.
