‘Maha Ashtami’ – The important day

‘Maha Ashtami’ is a very important day of the 10-day long Durga Puja and is also known as ‘Maha Durgashtami’. It is the second day of the Durga Puja. Begins with the Mahasnan and Shodashopachr Puja which is very similar to Maha Saptami. 

On Maha Ashtami, nine small pots are installed and nine Shaktis of Durga are invoked in them. All nine forms of Goddess Durga are worshipped during Maha Ashtami Puja.
