Navadurga or 9 Forms of Durga – Nine Goddesses of Durga Navratri

Navadurga or the 9 forms or manifestations of Durga are the nine Goddesses worshipped on nine festive nights during Durga Navratri. Though, the nine manifestations or avatars of Durga that are worshipped during Navaratri may differ from place to place, the standard or primary Navadurga Goddesses remain same for every region.

Goddess Durga is a form of Shakti, the Mother Goddess. Three main forms of Shakti – Mahakali, Maha Saraswati and Mahalaxmi are evolved from the Trimurtis – Lord Shiva, Lord Brahma and Lord Vishnu respectively. Each of these three main Goddesses gave rise to 3 more manifestations, who are referred as Nav-Durga. On each day of Durga Navratri, one of the Navdurga Goddesses is worshipped.

  1. Shailputri Mata
  2. Brahmacharini Maa
  3. Mata Chandraghanta
  4. Mata Kushmanda
  5. Skandamata
  6. Katyayani Mata
  7. Kalaratri Maa
  8. MahaGouri Mata
  9. Siddhidatri Mata
