Read more · significance & worship Significance The ninth form completes the familiar sequence with the image of spiritual fulfilment. Her lotus seat and four emblems invite a concluding prayer of gratitude. The meaning can continue beyond the nine nights through study, service and a practice renewed each day.
Worship at home For Navami, offer a concluding prayer of gratitude, bhog and aarti. Kanya Pujan may be held today where this is the household custom. A Navami homa, Kalash conclusion and fast-breaking each follow their own procedure and local appointment.
Offerings Make the household offering and share prasad with gratitude. Put away reading materials carefully and preserve the worship space as your concluding tradition requires.
