The most auspicious day is today... the day of Mahagowri. This day has many names, such as Ashtami, Maha Ashtami, and Durga Ashtami. The 8th day symbolizes regeneration, abundance, and transformation. Unlike Kalarathri, Maha Gowri is fair as the Mother is compared with the Moon. She holds a conch in one hand and a Kunda flower in the other and is in a pristine white attire. The white attire symbolizes purity and serenity! Let us bow our heads and pray for being pure in our thoughts and deeds.
