What is Lalita Saptami?

Lalita Saptami is a festival celebrated in the honor of Sri Lalita Devi. The day is rejoiced by almost every Hindu as it is the birth anniversary of the closest friend of Shri Radha Rani named Shri Lalita Devi. She was one of the closest friends of Lord Krishna and Shri Radha Rani and was regarded as the most devoted Gopi among all the others. Lalita Saptami takes place exactly a day prior to the occasion of Radha Ashtami and 14 days after the festival of Janmashtami.

Why do we celebrate Lalita Saptami?

Lalita Saptami is the day of appearance of Lalita Devi and it falls in the Bhadrapada month, on the seventh day of Shukla Paksha. The day of Lalita Saptami holds immense significance and it is regarded as highly auspicious to worship Lalita Devi on this day.

She used to have immense love and supreme passion towards her beloved Krishna and Radharani. All the other Ashtasakhis used to work under the guidance of Lalita Devi only. They used to offer much devotion and respect to Lalita Devi as their guardian for their service of Krishna and Radha.

She was born in the village of Karehla and her father brought Lalita Devi to Uccagaon. There is a rock which contains the imprints of the lotus feet of Lalita Devi as well as the utensils which were used by her to feed Lord Krishna. In the presence of the sunlight, the imprints glitter and shine at times.
