Panchami is the fifth day of Navratri.

The fifth day is dedicated to worship Goddess Skandamata.

She is the mother of Skanda (or Kartikeya), hence the name Skandamata.

She is depicted having four arms and holding her baby, riding on a ferocious lion.

Offer the Prasad of Bananas to Devi Skandamata during Navratri who graces her devotees with prosperity and power.

Parvati, in her role as the mother of Skanda or Shanmukha, came to be known as Skandamata.

She gives her devotees salvation, power and prosperity. She can grant wisdom even to the most illiterate person if he worships her with complete devotion.

While worshiping her, we should have absolute control over our senses and mind.

We should worship her with a single-pointed devotion. Her worship is twice blessed.

Mantra of the Day:

“ॐ देवी स्कन्दमातायै नमः”
“Aum Devi Skandamatayai Namah.”

Jai Maa Durga 🕉️🔱
