Navratri Ashtami 2020: Maa Gauri Mantra & Puja on 8th day of Navaratri

On the 8th day of Navratri, Hindu devotees worship Maa Mahagauri Devi. The day is also known as Maha Ashtami. The term Gauri signifies that she is the daughter of Giri or mountain. She rides on a bull holding a trident in her hands along with a damaru. She wears white clothes and her face is resplendent like that of a cool moon.
