Navratri 2021 Day 5 colour, Mata Katyayani puja vidhi, and mantras

Navratri 2021

Day 5 colour is white. The white colour signifies purity, peace and meditation. On this day Goddess Katyayani is worshipped. Maa Katyayani rides on a lion and carries ten weapons in her hands. She has three eyes and a half moon decorating her forehead. It's said that once, the sage Katyayan undertook a severe penance to get Goddess Parvati as his daughter. Owing to his sincere devotion and ardent penance, Goddess Durga blessed him and was born as his daughter - Katyayani.
