Navratri Day 8 Puja Vidhi, Time, Naivedyam and Colour

Navratri 2022: On the eighth day of Navratri, Goddess Mahagauri who is one of the incarnations of Goddess Durga is worshipped. She is the symbol of purity and serenity. She is also known as Vrisharudha since she is mounted on a bull.

Goddess Mahagauri has four hands, two of which are used to hold Trishul and Damru, and the other two are used in Abhaya Mudra and Varada Mudra. Due to her pale complexion, she is compared to a conch, the moon, and the white flower of Kunda.
