Maa Katyayani is the sixth form of Navdurga, worshipped on the sixth day of Navratri. She is honoured as a powerful and protective form of Goddess Durga, associated with courage, determination, righteous action, and the strength to overcome obstacles.
Tradition remembers her as the daughter of sage Katyayana, from whom she receives the name Katyayani. Her form reminds devotees that divine strength can help us meet difficult moments with a clear mind, a steady heart, and faith in a positive outcome.
