Mahagauri Devi is worshipped on the eighth day of Navaratri. Hindus believe that by paying homage to Maha Gauri, all past, present, and future sins will be washed away, imparting a deep sense of inner peace.

Origin of Mahagauri Devi

When Parvati decided to go on an austere penance to beget Lord Shiva as her consort, she renounced all comforts and lived in a forest for deep meditation. Her meditation continued for several years - braving the heat, cold, rain, and terrible storms. Lord Shiva, impressed by her deep penance, appeared before her and showered the holy water of the Ganga over her.

The Gangajal washed off all the dirt. She regained her natural beauty and came to be known as Mahagauri

Iconography

She wears white clothes, has four arms, and rides on a bull, one of the most sacred animals in Hinduism. Her right hand is in the pose of allaying fear, and her right lower hand holds a trident. The left upper hand holds a damaru, while the lower one is thought to grant blessings to her devotees. Because of her fair complexion, Goddess Mahagauri is often compared with the moon, a conch, and jasmine flowers.
Maha Gauri is the Goddess of kindness and morality.

She is the one who purifies the souls by destroying the sins. Her worship liberates one from the clutches of material world and removes sorrows. She leads you to path of virtue and self-realization.

Governing Planet

It is believed that the planet Rahu is governed by Goddess Mahagauri.

Puja

All the chapters of 'Durga Saptashi' are read.
Additionally, Goddess's blessings are invoked with a Mahagauri pujan mantra. Devotees bathe themselves and wear clean clothes during Brahm muhurta before invoking this Goddess with a Mahagauri pujan mantra. Incense, roli, kumkum, flowers, akshat (a mixture of vermilion and unbroken rice to put on the forehead), and deep (lighted earthen lamp) are essential ingredients required for the puja.
