"चैत्र नवरात्री की हार्दिक शुभकामनाये"

On the first day of Navratri, Maa Shailputri is worshipped. She is the daughter of the Himalayas, who embodies serenity, simplicity, and boundless compassion.

Meaning of Shailputri:

"Shail" means mountain, and "putri" means daughter, hence "daughter of the mountain".

She is often depicted riding a bull (Nandi), holding a trident in her right hand and a lotus in her left, symbolizing her connection to Lord Shiva and her nurturing nature.

Maa Shailputri is revered as a provider of prosperity and all fortunes, and devotees pray to her for spiritual awakening and guidance during challenging times.

Mantra:

"Om Devi Shailaputryai Namah"

Prayer :

"Vande Vanchhitalabhaya Chandrardhakritashekharam. Vrisharudham Shuladharam Shailaputrim Yashasvinim"
