The festive season has started with Durga Puja and Navratri unfolding. Ashtami and Navami stand out as important dates in the celebration. Ashtami is the eighth day of the festival, which is considered highly auspicious. Devotees perform special rituals, including the worship of the Goddess. A key highlight in the Ashtami puja is Kumari Puja, where young girls from ages 5 to 7 are worshipped. Navami is the ninth day, which is the end of the Navratri celebrations, where the worship focuses on the Goddess as Siddhidhatri. Deoghar-based astrologer Acharya Pandit Nandkishore Mudgal emphasises that, apart from the traditional rituals that are performed during Ashtami and Navami, there are some essential items that devotees should bring home, in order to get the blessings of Goddess Durga, as it brings wealth and prosperity. Let’s take a look at them.
Brass Kalash: Astrologer Acharya Pandit Nandkishore Mudgal believes that bringing a brass kalash home on the eighth day of Navaratri can ensure the blessings from Goddess Durga that will remain throughout the year. The use of brass kalash in religious activities is regarded as highly auspicious. Keeping a brass kalash at home provides relief from Graha Dosh. Incorporating a brass kalash into the house during this festival can be a powerful means of inviting divine blessings.
Peacock Feather: Pandit Nandkishore Mudgal emphasises the importance of bringing peacock feathers on the eighth day of Navaratri, as it will bring happiness and increase prosperity in the house by removing all negative energies.
Makeup items: Astrologer Acharya Pandit Nandkishore Mudgal cites that women must buy makeup items on the eighth day of Navaratri. This is considered as very auspicious as there will never be any shortage of wealth and food in the house. If devotees perform this, they will seek the blessings of Goddess Durga and it will bring good fortune to their lives.
Silver Coin: According to Pandit Ji, devotees should also buy a silver coin on the eighth or the ninth day of Navratri. If the coin has a picture of Goddess Durga or Goddess Laxmi engraved on it, it will surely bring economic progress to the house and there will be a shortage of money in the house.
