During the Navratri days, each day has its own significance as each day is dedicated to a different goddess.

Here is everything you need to know and must do to please the goddess and bring in more blessings.

The Significance 

Going by the mythological folklore, Goddess Parvati had to kill the demon Mahishasura which is why she changed into the warrior goddess. She is depicted with 3 eyes, 4 hands and a ferocious lion as her vehicle. In her left hands, she is has a lotus and a sword, while the right hands are in Abhaya Mudra and Varada. The Aagya Chakra is said to help in proper guidance to the right path as per devotees.
