Maa Bhuvaneshwari is the form of Aadi Shakti, one of the earliest forms of Shakti. She is the queen of all worlds and rules the universe. Devotees worship Bhuvaneshwari Mata for worldly pleasures, progeny, wealth, knowledge and fortune. She also helps remove all negativity from the life of her devotees and help them gain freedom from the cycle of birth and death.

As per Hindu calendar, this day is observed on the twelfth day (Dwadashi Tithi) of Shukla Paksha in the month of Bhadrapada. This year, Bhuvaneshwari Jayanti is going to be celebrated on September 26, 2023.

It is believed that people who worship all the ten mahavidyas in the night can get a siddhi. However, this is usually done by people who are into tantra sadhana. For other devotees, they should worship the goddess at home.

Sandalwood, red flowers, shringar, fruits, coconut and a red chunri should be offered to Bhuvaneshwari Mata while worshipping.
