Lalitha Panchami is an auspicious day dedicated to Goddess Lalitha Tripura Sundari Devi, the Red Goddess. Sri Lalitha Tripurasundari is one of the most powerful manifestations of Goddess Shakti, incarnated to demolish the demon called Bhandasura. Bhandasura was a demon formed from the ashes of Manmadha or Kama deva, the God of Love and seduction.
In 2021, Lalitha Panchami date is October 10. It falls on Panchami tithi in Shukla Paksha of Ashwin Maas (Sharad Navratri Panchami).
Lalitha Avatara Katha
When Lord Shiva was performing severe Tapas (penance), Manmadha tried to disturb him by aiming the arrows of seduction. Lord Shiva was disturbed greatly and with a deep anger opened his third eye and destroyed Manmadha into ashes. Shiva Gana Sevaks collected the ashes of Kama Deva and drew a portrait of a man.
With a single glance of Lord Shiva on that portrait of ashes, it came alive. As we know, Lord Shiva is called as Bhola Shankar, blessed the live form of the ashes, which became demon called Bhandasura. Read full detailed Lalitha Avatara Katha here..
