Description
The grand ninth day of Sharadiya and Chaitra Navratri is celebrated as Maha Navami (Durga Navami), dedicated to Maa Siddhidatri — the ninth and ultimate manifestation of Goddess Durga. Seated gracefully on a blooming lotus, Maa Siddhidatri is the supreme bestower of all eight supernatural Siddhis (Ashta Siddhi – Anima, Mahima, Garima, Laghima, Prapti, Prakamya, Ishitva, and Vashitva) and all nine treasures (Nava Nidhi). Lord Shiva himself acquired all divine accomplishments by worshiping this supreme aspect of Adi Shakti.

⭐ Special Note for Durga Navami (Siddhidatri) Puja
Maa Siddhidatri is worshipped with lotus flowers, and Makhana/rice Kheer with Halwa-Chana are her most cherished Bhog. Kanya Pujan (9 girls plus one Langur/Bhairav boy) marks the auspicious completion of the Navratri Vrat, and their meal must be prepared completely sattvic.
