Below is a list of the 'mantras', 'stotras', and 'puja vidhi' for Skandamata Devi.
Today marks the 5th day of Navratri 2020 and Skandamata Devi is worshipped on this auspicious day of Navratri. Skandamata is the fifth avatar of Navdurga. Below is a list of the 'mantras', 'stotras', and 'puja vidhi' for Skandamata Devi. The colour of the fifth day of Navratri is royal blue.
Speaking about Skandamata Devi, the Hindu scriptures say that when Goddess Parvati became the mother of Kartikeya, also known as Skanda, she came to be known as Maa Skandamata. Shardiya Navratri is one of the most auspicious periods of the Hindu calendar when Maa Durga descends on Earth from her abode in Kailash.
Today is also celebrated as Maha Panchami of the Devi Paksha and Durga Puja officially starts on Thursday. Goddess Durga will be welcomed on Maha Shasthi tomorrow.
Skandamata Devi
Skandamata Maa is seen as carrying Kartikeya on her lap. She mounts a ferocious lion and has four hands. Skandamata Devi carries lotus flowers in two left hands and holds Kartikeya with her right hand. The other right hand is the gesture of fearlessness or 'Abhaya Mudra'. Skandamata is also known as Goddess Padmasana as she sits on a lotus flower.
