KUMARI PUJA - SIGNIFICANCE AND CELEBRATIONS

Kumari Puja is an interesting as well as an integral part of Durga Puja celebrations. In this puja, small young girls are worshipped as the incarnation of Maa Durga. This festive ritual is observed in almost all parts of India. In West Bengal, it is celebrated on Maha Ashtami while in other parts of India, it is observed on Navami tithi. This festival is known as ‘Kanya Pujan’ in North India.

Why Should We Perform Kumari Puja?

The unmarried or ‘Kumari’ form of Goddess Durga is the most auspicious form of Maa Durga as this form is also regarded as the basis of all the creations. Kumari puja is probably one of the best ways to get the blessings of Maa Durga as she gets immensely happy when small girls are worshipped and respected. Worshipping these little girls is the best medium to offer prayers to Goddess Durga. Kumari Puja is also a medium to rever the purity of the women in the society.
