Durga Pooja is one of the most powerful and widely celebrated Hindu rituals, dedicated to Goddess Durga—the fierce form of Shakti who destroys evil and protects the righteous. Celebrated especially during the Navratri or Ashwin month, this pooja symbolizes the victory of good over evil and is performed to seek strength, courage, and spiritual upliftment.

The pooja involves rituals like Kalash Sthapana, Durga Saptashati chanting, Homa (fire offerings), and Aarti. Durga is worshipped in her many forms including Mahakali, Mahalakshmi, and Mahasaraswati. These days are filled with devotion, discipline, and rituals to please the Mother Goddess.

It is especially recommended during difficult times in life, for those facing internal struggles, enemies, or health issues, or for those embarking on new beginnings.
