It is the sixth day of Chaitra Navratri, and on this occasion, Goddess Katyayani, the sixth form of Maa Durga, is worshipped. As per Hindu mythology, Goddess Parvati took the form of Goddess Katyayani to destroy the demon Mahishasura. Also known as the warrior Goddess, she is the most violent form of Goddess Parvati. Governing the planet Brihaspati, the goddess has four hands and rides on a magnificent lion. Her pictorial depiction shows her carrying a lotus flower and sword in her left hand, while her right hand stays Abhaya and Varada Mudras.
