Dwitiya or the second day of Navratri.

The second day is dedicated to worship Goddess Brahmacharini.

Parvati became Yogini, her unmarried self, hence the name “Brahmacharini”.

Goddess Brahmacharini is worshipped for emancipation or moksha. She is even worshipped for the endowment of peace and prosperity.

Goddess Brahmacharini is shown in pictures, walking bare feet, holding a japamal (rosary) and a kamandal (pot) in her hands. She looks calm and blissful.

Day Two: Brahmacharini | ब्रह्मचारिणी
Epitome of Tapas

Brahmacharini represents Parvati in her phase of tapas. She walks barefoot carrying the japa mala in her right hand and kamandalu in her left.

On the second day, we should stop all the fripperies of life and take to deep penance and spend this night in meditation alone.

“Aum Devi Brahmacharinnyai Namaha!”
ॐ देवी ब्रह्मचारिण्यै नमः॥
