Navratri is a sacred journey of nine forms of Maa Durga, each blessing us with unique lessons and powers. On Day 6, we worship Maa Katyayani, the fierce and courageous form of Shakti who destroyed the demon Mahishasura. She represents inner strength, determination, and justice—guiding us to stand against negativity and fear in our lives.
