The auspicious nine days of Navratri begins today, October 7. The Day 1 of Navratri is the Pratipada Tithi that marks the arrival of Goddess Durga. The Durga puja mostly begins with Ghatasthapana. The first form of Goddess Durga – Mata Shialputri is worshipped on Pratipada. She is also known as Hemavati, Bhavani, and Parvati. Her pictorial depiction carries a Trishul in her right hand and a lotus in her left hand.
It is said that Goddess Sati was born as Shailputri to King Himalaya after her self-immolation. Shailputri is an amalgamation of two words- ‘Shail and Putri’ which means daughter of mountains. Worshipping Mata Shailputri on day 1 of Navratri brings good fortune and luck.
