Katra teerth Nav Durga Pujan, Nav Chandi Havan and 108 Kanya Bhojan
For Blessings of Fulfillment of All Desires and Protection from negative energies
🙏 Are you feeling blocked by hidden obstacles or worried about negative energies around you? This Ashtami of Auspicious Gupt Navratri is a Grand Opportunity to get rid of your worries.
🌺The Sacred Power of Gupt Navratri Ashtami
Gupt Navratri is not a festival of outward celebration, but of intense inner transformation. Scriptures describe it as a period when the Goddess reveals her most subtle and potent energies to sincere seekers. Among these nine nights, Ashtami holds exceptional importance. It is believed that on Ashtami, Maa Durga manifests in her fiercest yet most compassionate form the moment when divine shakti overcomes even the deepest layers of negativity.
According to Devi Mahatmya, when Mahishasura’s tyranny spread fear across the three worlds, the combined energies of all gods manifested Maa Durga. Her victory symbolised not only the destruction of evil but the restoration of balance, protection, and divine order. This sacred narrative forms the spiritual foundation of Ashtami worship reminding devotees that no obstacle is greater than the goddess’s power.
🌺Nav Chandi Havan: Invoking the Nine Forms of Protection
The Nav Chandi Havan performed during this anushthan is a highly revered Vedic ritual. Through sacred mantras and offerings into the divine fire, the nine forms of Maa Durga are invoked. It is believed that this havan purifies the environment, calms turbulent energies, and invites divine protection into one’s life journey. The rising flames and resonating chants symbolise the burning away of fear, doubts, and unseen influences.
🌺108 Kanya Bhojan: Worshipping the Living Form of the Goddess
One of the most spiritually moving aspects of this Mahaanushthan is the 108 Kanya Bhojan. Young girls are revered as manifestations of Nav Durga herself. Feeding and honouring them with devotion is believed to please the Goddess deeply, nurturing compassion, fulfillment, and inner joy. This sacred act reflects humility, gratitude, and surrender — essential qualities for receiving divine grace.
Performed at the powerful Katra Teerth, this Gupt Navratri Ashtami anushthan through Sri Mandir allows devotees to place their prayers before Maa Durga with faith — seeking protection, strength, and the gentle guidance of the Divine goddess on life’s path.

About 9 kilometers from Katra is the Nav Durga Temple, dedicated to the nine forms of the Goddess. The temple is set within a natural cave, where rock formations naturally resemble the nine forms of Maa Durga. Devotees visit this holy place to receive the blessings of all nine goddesses.
During Navratri and on Fridays, the sanctity of this place is especially heightened. Performing rituals here during this period is believed to bring immense spiritual benefits. Devotees carry out special ceremonies, including Kanya Poojan and Durga-Chandi Havan, which are considered highly auspicious and fruitful.
⭕ Note: This is not the main Vaishno Devi temple. The puja will be performed at the Nav Durga Temple located at the foothills. It is believed that performing rituals at this sacred site is equally beneficial.
