Are You Ready to Welcome the Little Goddesses This Navratri? Here are 10 Navratri Gifts for Kanya This Year (2019)

The ritual and tradition of Kanya Puja is a very important part of Navratri. It is celebrated because it is said in scriptures that every human has a part of god inside them. However, the god remains only if the human continues to stay kind and innocent.

Children are usually considered innocent and pure. They have no evil thoughts inside them. Thus, it is believed that worshipping a child for a day can have faster results. This is because if a child is happy then God is happy as well.

Kanya Puja is celebrated on the 8th and 9th day of Navratri. It represents 9 different goddesses. Their names are: Kumarika, Trimurti, Kalyani, Rohini, Kali, Chandika, Shambhavi, Durga and Subhadra.

Little girls usually sit in the Kanya Puja. They are considered to be a replica of NavDurga goddess. Hence, they are worshipped on the 8th and 9th day of Navratri. People actually invite girls to their houses and offer them food as we offer it to god. Hence, it is called as bhog.

The reason behind doing this is that the Goddess Durga will be pleased. She is worshipped in various forms during these nine days. Also, it is said that Goddess Durga had actually killed a cruel demon during this time by taking an avatar of a small girl. Hence, the goddess will be impressed.

Although, an important thing to remember is that the girl that is worshipped should be healthy and completely free from all the diseases and even physical issues. Also, you need to invite girls based on your desire. If you want to glory and fame, then invite kshatriya girls. On the other hand, if you want wealth and prosperity, then vaishya girls and if you wish to have a son, then Shudra girls. Brahmin girls are invited to fulfill all sorts of desires.
