Chaitra Navratri 2024 Day 5: According to mythological beliefs, Skandamata is the fiery form of Mother Parvati. In this regard, a story has been told that once when Mother Parvati got angry and appeared in the form of Adishakti to protect Kumar Kartikeya, Indra started trembling with fear. Indra started apologizing to the goddess to save his life. Since one name of Kumar Kartikeya is also Skanda, all the deities started calling her Skandamata to celebrate the form of Maa Durga and started praising her. Since then, the fifth form of Maa Durga Maa came to be known as Skandamata, and she was worshipped as the 5th Adhikshatri.
