Durga Mata
Triratri Vrata is a three-day Puja during Navratri Durga Puja. In 2023, Triratri Navratri Pooja begins on October 21 and ends on October 23. Usually, it begins on Maha Saptami with Saraswati Avahan and ends with Saraswati Balidan or visarjan on Mahanavami day. As last three days of Navratri are dedicated to Goddess Saraswati, it is also referred to as Saraswati Pujan.
The same rituals of Navratri are followed during Triratri Vrata. Kalasha Sthapana is performed before starting the puja on first day and Kalasha will be moved after the completion of Puja on third day. Those who unable to perform the Navratri Puja for nine days, would prefer Triratri Vrata observance.
21 October 2023 – Maha Saptami, Triratri Kalasha Sthapana.
22 October 2023 – Maha Ashtami, Durgashtami
23 October 2023 – Mahanavami & Saraswati Devi Udwasanam

In some places, even in Triratri vrata all the three goddesses – Mahakali, Mahalakshmi and Maha Saraswati are worshipped.
