The holy festival of Sharadiya Navratri is coming to a close. After nine days of devotion to Goddess Durga, the celebrations will end with Maha Navami on October 1, 2025, followed by Vijayadashami (Dussehra) the next day. On this sacred day, Kanya Pujan , also known as Kumari Puja, is performed across homes and temples.

According to Hindu beliefs, Kanya Pujan on Ashtami (eighth day) and Navami (ninth day) holds special importance. Little girls are worshipped as forms of Goddess Durga, symbolising purity, strength, and divine blessings.
