Why is Goddess Mahagauri Worshiped on 8th Day of Navratri?

 

 

Each day of Navratri festival is dedicated to one of the nine avatars of Goddess Durga. The nine avatars are named as Shailaputri, Brahmcharini, Chandraghanta, Kushmanda, Skandmata, Katyayani, Kaalratri, Mahagauri, and Sidhidatri. The eighth day of Navratri is dedicated to Goddess Mahaguari. She is immensely powerful and worshiping her is instantly fruitful. The devotees of goddess Mahaguari enjoy a peaceful and satisfied life and all their sins of present, part lives get washed away and they get purified in all aspects of life.

Eighth day is dedicated to Goddess Mahagauri.Mahagauri is peaceful, intelligent and calm. As the name suggests, Mahagauri is extremely white. In her upper left hand, she holds a thorn-like weapon, which is made of iron and she holds a dagger in her left hand. She is pure, white as conch, jasmine and moon. As per the legend, she developed a dark complexion due to her long penance and austerities in the deep forests of the Himalayas. And, when Lord Shiva cleaned her with Ganga Jal (water of the holy Ganga river), her body once again became beautiful and she got her new name as Mahagauri, which means extremely white.

Worshipers and devotees of goddess Mahagauri are blessed with prosperity, happiness, health and joys of life.
