Navratri 2025 Day 5 Goddess, Colour: Navratri is a nine-day festival that celebrates the nine forms of Goddess Durga. Each day has its own rituals, colours, and prayers dedicated to a specific form of the Goddess. Devotees observe fasts, perform pujas, and seek blessings for health, wealth, and happiness.
On the fifth day of Navratri, devotees will worship Goddess Skandamata, the mother of Lord Skanda (Kartikeya). She is the fifth form of Goddess Durga and is often shown seated on a lion, holding lotus flowers in her hands, and carrying young Lord Skanda in her lap.
She is regarded as a symbol of love, wisdom, and protection, and worshipping her is said to bring peace, prosperity, and liberation from difficulties. Because she is also depicted sitting on a lotus, she is known as Padmasan
