Chaitra Durga Ashtami, also known as Mahashtami, is an important day in the Hindu calendar. It is celebrated with special rituals and ceremonies. Today, Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty marked this auspicious occasion by performing ‘kanya pujan’ with her daughter, Samisha.
Shilpa Shetty shared a heartwarming video on Twitter, showing the mother-daughter duo participating in the ceremony. In her tweet, she wished blessings of prosperity, love, and peace from the Supreme Goddess Maha Gauri for everyone.
During Chaitra Durga Ashtami, devotees honor the divine feminine energy, seeking blessings for their families and loved ones. The ‘kanya pujan’ involves worshiping young girls as embodiments of the goddess. It is believed to bring happiness and fulfillment.
This celebration reminds us of the importance of spirituality and family bonds in Hindu culture. As we observe Chaitra Durga Ashtami, let us cherish the blessings of love, peace, and prosperity bestowed upon us by the divine.
