**Navratri 2025: Devotees to Worship Maa Kushmanda on September 26th**
**New Delhi, [Current Date]** – As Shardiya Navratri continues, devotees are preparing to worship Maa Kushmanda, the fourth form of Goddess Durga, on September 26th, 2025. While the fourth day of Navratri falls today, September 25th, due to the Tithi (auspicious day)calculations, Maa Chandraghanta will be worshipped today.
Maa Kushmanda, also known as Ashtabhuja Devi, is believed to have created the universe with her gentle smile. According to scriptures, worshipping her with proper rituals on the fifth day of Navratri brings relief from ailments, sorrow, and bestows longevity, fame, strength, health, and prosperity.
Devotees will offer prayers, recite mantras, and perform the Kushmanda Aarti to seek her blessings. The Aarti is considered especially fruitful and completes the worship. Maa Kushmanda is depicted riding a lion and holding a kamandal, kalash, lotus, Sudarshan Chakra, gada, bow, arrow, and rosary in her eight hands.
Astrological outlook of the week suggests potential benefits for certain zodiac signs due to the formation of various auspicious Yogas, including Mahalakshmi and Gajalakshmi Yoga.
