This year, the auspicious occasion of Ram Navami is being celebrated on April 2. The day is marked to celebrate the birth of Lord Rama and it coincides with the Chaitra Navratri. It falls on the ninth day of the Shukla Paksha in the Hindu calendar of Chaitra month (March-April).

Maa Siddhidatri is worshipped by the devotees on the last day. This form of Durga blesses her bhakts with wish fulfillment.

The auspicious occasion of Chaitra Navratri began from March 25 this year and will end on April 2 - Ram Navami. During the nine-day festival, nine different forms of Maa Durga, also known by the name of Navdurga are worshipped on each day. 

Maha Gauri is an avatar of Devi Parvati, the divine consort of Lord Shiva.

As the auspicious occasion of Chaitra Navratri is being celebrated in full festive fervour, we thought of listing out some of the mantras dedicated to Maa Durga. There are various mantras of Devi Durga which can help you get her blessings and if one chants these during the divine 9-day festival (Navratri) of the goddess, then it is believed to be even more auspicious. 

Devi Kalratri is believed to be the fiercest form of Durga, and her appearance often invokes a feeling of fear. She is the destroyer of all demon entities, ghosts, spirits and negative energies, who flee upon knowing of her arrival.

On Day 6, devotees offer prayers to Maa Katyayani. She is the second name of Goddess Parvati, Adi Parashakti or Amarakosha, as per the Sanskrit lexicon. She is also hailed as the fierce avatar of Maa Durga as per some beliefs.

Maa Chandraghanta blesses her bhakts with valour and removes all the obstacles from their lives.
