Chaitra Navratri 2020 Day 6, March 30: The sixth form of Devi Durga who is worshipped during Chaitra Navratri is Lord Katyayani. She may be depicted with four or ten or eighteen hands. This is the second name given for Goddess Adi Parashakti in Amarakosha. Goddess Katyayani was worshipped by Sita and Rukmini for a good husband.

Lord Katyayani is also known as Warrior Goddess and is believed to be one of the most violent forms of Maa Durga. She was born to sage Katyaya. Thus, she got the name from her father. Later, she married Lord Krishna. According to the Kalika Purana, Sage Katyaya was the one who first worshipped this form of Goddess. She is depicted as seated astride a lion sword and a lotus flower in her right hand. Her left hands can be seen in the Varada and Abhaya Mudra.

People who worship her with pure heart, Maa Katyayani fulfil their wishes. Married women pray to her for the healthy lives of their husbands.
