NAVARATRI MAHOTSAVA

The Utsava starts a day before the Navarathri on Bhaadrapada Amavasya with Abhishekam followed by Jagatprasutika Alankaram. With a smile on her face Mother Sharadamba fondles an adorable baby on her lap as if she is telling her devotee that “I am the mother of the creation, and you are my child. You will always be taken care as this baby on my lap, if you seek me”. This signifies “Jaganmata” given birth to the world as “Jagatprasutika” and will be the supreme mother for whole Jagat.
