Shardiya Navratri Kanya Pujan 2024: The festival of Shardiya Navratri lasts for nine days, in which 9 different forms of Maa Durga are worshipped. But the full results of Navratri fasting and worship of Mata Rani are achieved only when you consider small girls as goddesses and worship them. It is also called Kanya Puja or Kanjak.
During Navratri, devotees worship Kanya on Ashtami and Navami date, which is on 11 October 2024 this year. Ashtami-Navami Tithi is falling on this day. Therefore, it will be auspicious to perform Kanya Puja on Friday, 11th October, on the day of Ashtami and Navami.
During Kanya Puja, people respectfully call small girls of 2-10 years of age to their homes considering them to be the form of Maa Durga, wash their feet, feed them puri, gram, halwa and coconut, give gifts and bid farewell with her blessings. We do. It is believed that by worshiping Kanya, Mother Durga becomes very happy and there is happiness and prosperity at home.
But keep in mind that during Kanya Puja, do not commit any such mistake which may make Mata Rani angry. On Kanya Puja, people give many types of gifts to girls, which is a very good thing. But do not knowingly or unknowingly give any such gift which may cause the displeasure of Mata Rani. Therefore, know what should not be given as gifts to girls-
What not to gift to Kanjak
- Small girls should not be gifted steel utensils or plastic items during Kanya Puja. Because in Hindu religion, these metals are not considered auspicious during worship.
- Also avoid giving glass items or sharp objects to Kanjak.
- After Kanya Puja, never give black clothes or black handkerchiefs etc. to girls. You can gift red colored chunari or red clothes instead.
Avoid these mistakes also
- Instead of feeding the girls directly after coming home, first wash their feet, apply tilak and then make them sit on the seat.
- Instead of feeding things containing garlic and onion in the food of girls, feed them only halwa, puri, gram and coconut. Feed small girls as much as they can eat with respect.
- Do not bid farewell to girls without touching their feet, this angers Mother Durga.
- Do not clean the house immediately after bidding farewell to the girls.
