Mumbai : Ashtami Kanya Pujan is considered the most sacred ritual of Navratri. On this day, devotees worship little girls (kanyas) with faith and devotion, believing that Goddess Durga herself resides within them. Performing this ritual with proper vidhi (procedure) is said to bring peace, prosperity, and divine blessings into one’s life.

During Shardiya Navratri, Ashtami holds a special significance as it is dedicated to Goddess Mahagauri, the eighth form of Maa Durga. Scriptures emphasize that Kanya Pujan on Ashtami and Navami is mandatory for devotees, as it is one of the highest acts of virtue.
