Goddess Katyayani is worshipped as the sixth form of Navdurga on the Shashthi Tithi day of Navratri. According to Hindu mythology, Goddess Parvati took the form of Goddess Katyayani to destroy the demon Mahishasura. She is believed to be the most violent form of Goddess Parvati and hence also known as the ‘warrior goddess.’ Katyayani governs the planet Brihaspati. The pictorial depiction shows her with four hands and riding on a magnificent lion. She carries a lotus flower and sword in her left hand and keeps her right hands in Abhaya and Varada Mudras. This form of Maa Parvati is called Katyayani as she was born at the home of sage Katya.
