मां महागौरी (Ma Mahagauri - Navratri Goddess Story)

On the eighth day of the nine day-long festival of Navratri, we celebrate and we pray to Ma Mahagauri. ‘Maha’ means extremely and ‘Gauri’ means fair. When Parvatiji in the form of Kaalratri was fighting all the demons and when she came back her skin had turned absolutely dark and try as she may she just couldn’t get rid of that dark skin. She prayed to Lord Brahma and she told him that, ‘I want to get rid of this dark skin'. Once Parvati had bathed in the Manasarovar lake she emerged absolutely stunning.

She carries a trident in one hand and a damaru in the other. Listen to the complete story only on this podcast.
