Overview
Katyayani Puja for families in Chowk
Goddess Katyayani is the sixth of the Navadurga, the nine forms of Durga worshipped during Navratri. She is described as a fierce yet compassionate form of the Goddess, and her worship has long been associated with prayers for a good life partner and a happy marriage.
Chowk is the old commercial heart of Varanasi, a dense network of lanes filled with wholesale markets, silk and sari shops, sweet shops and tall old houses. It lies in the old city between Godowlia and Maidagin, with the lanes towards Kashi Vishwanath close by.
सर्वमङ्गलमाङ्गल्ये शिवे सर्वार्थसाधिके।
शरण्ये त्र्यम्बके गौरि नारायणि नमोऽस्तु ते॥
Sarvamaṅgalamāṅgalye śive sarvārthasādhike, śaraṇye tryambake gauri nārāyaṇi namo'stu te.
