Chaitra Navratri 2023, Ram Navami: Maa Siddhidatri

Goddess Siddhidhatri is the last form of Goddess Durga who sits on a lotus. Devi Siddhidatri blesses spiritual bliss seekers.

This form of the goddess is endowed with a discus (chakra) and mace (Gada) in the right hand and a conch (Shankha) and a lotus in the left hand. Seated on a fully bloomed pink lotus, this avatar of the goddess is hailed as the formless Adishakti whom Lord Shiva also worships.

Maa Siddhidatri Katha

According to Hindu mythology, when the universe began, Lord Rudra worshipped Adi-Parashakti, the supreme Goddess of Power. Since she had no form, Adi-Parashakti appeared in the form of Goddess Siddhidatri from the left half of Lord Shiva. When this happened, Lord Shiva came to be known as Ardha-Narishwar.
