What is Maa Durga's vehicle indicating in this Navratri?


Gods and goddesses and festivals have special significance in Hinduism. One such special occasion is the festival of Navratri. In the festival of Navratri, the nine principles of Maa Durga are worshiped for nine days. The festival of Navratri comes four times a year. Very few people know that apart from Chaitra and Sharadiya Navratri, two Gupta Navratri also come. However, Sharadiya Navratri has the most importance in this. It is celebrated on Pratipada Tithi of Shukla Paksha of Ashwin month. On this special festival, all the devotees worship the mother for the entire nine days, keep fast, and do Kanya Pujan on the ninth day. In these nine days, Maa Durga listens to the prayers of all her devotees and gives her blessings to the devotees. If you want to know more about Maa Durga's vehicle indication then talk to astrologers.

Maa Durga Vahan

This year Durga Maa Palki's procession and farewell will be on Charanayudh We all know that Maa Durga's vehicle is a lion. But on every Navratri (Sharadiya Navratri 2024), Goddess Durga comes to earth riding on different vehicles. Different fruits have been told for the goddess coming riding on different communities. This year Sharadiya Navratri is starting on Thursday, October 3. In such a situation, Maa Durga riding on a palanquin on Thursday is considered unique. However, when the mother comes on a palanquin or doli, the fear of the epidemic remains.


According to Devi Bhagwat, the last day of Navratri decides which will be the vehicle of the mother while leaving. That is, which day is the last day of Navratri, according to that the vehicle of the goddess is also decided. This year the last day of Sharadiya Navratri falls on Saturday. In such a situation, the departure of the mother will be on Charanayudh or a rooster. The departure of the goddess on a rooster increases sorrow and suffering.
