In some places on the 9th day of Navaratri. The final day of Navaratri culminates in Maha-Navami. On this day KANYA Puja is performed. 9 Young girls (Age 2-10) representing the 9 forms Goddess Durga are worshiped.
Their feet are washed as a mark of respect for the Goddess and they are offered new cloths (new blouse pieces, beetle leaves (if available) and nuts, Kumkum and turmeric) and any other presents by the worshiper.

We were blessed by AMMA to observe KUMARI POOJA a few years ago on the occasion of our 40th Wedding Anniversary.

Today DURGAMMA APPEARS AS MAHISHASURA MARDHANI.

It is highly blissful to chant/listen MAHISHASURA MARIDINI STOTRAM today but also may our sisters may practice to learn by heart to chant daily in their pooja which is highly auspicious to safeguard the whole family. God willing We would like to bring books to give as many sisters as possible in our next SriRama Navami festival.

When my better half DhanaLakshmi can recite both morning and evening by heart, anybody can do. Please try and see how you feel.
