Forms Of Goddess Mahagauri 


As per belief, Goddess Parvati did tough penance to get Lord Shiva as her husband, due to which her skin color turned black. Lord Shiva got impressed by this dedicated penance of Maa Parvati and appeared in front of her. Maa Parvati was then bathed with Holy Water of Gangas by Lord Shiva himself. Because of which the skin color of Maa Parvati turned white and Maa Mahagauri name was given to her. Goddess Mahagauri mounts on ox and wears white colored clothes. 

On this day, wear sky blue and offer coconut to the Goddess. 

AstroSage wishes you a great Sharad Navratri 2015. Jai Maa Mahagauri!
