Chaitra Navratri Durga Ashtami 2023: Durga Ashtami or Maha Ashtami is celebrated with much enthusiasm and fervour during the nine-day celebrations of Chaitra Navratri and many people conclude their fasts on this day and organise Kanya Puja by worshipping nine little girls as avatars of goddess Durga and feeding them prasad of puri, chana and suji halwa. On this day, the young girls or kanjaks are welcomed home and worshipped. A holy thread is tied around their wrists, and a tilak is put on their foreheads. It is auspicious to offer them a red dupatta as it's the favourite colour of Maa Durga and at the end of the puja, they are offered a small gift or dakshina.
