On the sixth day of Chaitra Navaratri, the sixth form of Maa Durga is Maa Katyayani, she is worshiped on the sixth day of Navratri. Mother Katyayani was born in the house of sage Katyayan; hence she was named Katyayani(कात्यायनी). By worshiping Mother Katyayani, a person attains work, salvation, religion, and wealth. Let us know the worship method of the sixth day of Navratri, the offering, mantra and aarti of Maa Katyayani.
By worshiping Mother Katyayani, all the sins of a person are destroyed. Mother Katyayani takes away all the sins of her devotees. Also, by worshiping Mother Katyayani, a person attains salvation. Talking about mother's birth, the world-famous sage Katyayan worshiped Mother Bhagwati and performed rigorous penance. When Maa Bhagwati appeared to him, he asked for a boon like Maa Bhagwati that a son would be born in his house. After this, Mother Bhagwati herself took birth in his house. Hence her name was Katyayani. Not only this, the Gopis also worshiped Mother Katyayani to get Lord Krishna as their husband.
Mother Katyayani is Sarva Shaktiman, Katyani's another name is also Mahisamardini(महिषामर्दिनी). Mother Katyayani's form is very bright. They have four arms. His upper right hand remains in Abhaya Mudra(अभय मुद्रा). And the one below it is in Hach Vara posture.
