You can buy your own Durga idol to worship at home. Adorn and worship the idol for the 9 days of Navratri.
Shardiya Navratri is just about 10 days away now and the festive spirit has already kicked in. At present, we are passing through Pitru Paksha to continue till October 14, following which the Navratri will start from the following day. This time Goddess Durga is arriving on an elephant, which will be auspicious for all of us.
You can make this year’s Shardiya Navratri even more auspicious for yourself by bringing home certain items before or on the first day of establishing the Kalash on Navratri. Dr Ganesh Mishra, an astrologer at Central Sanskrit University, Puri, shared the items which bring us good fortune.
Durga Idol
You can buy your own Durga idol to worship at your home. Adorn and worship the idol for the 9 days of Navratri. With the grace of the Goddess, you will be successful in your life. You can use this idol for puja even after Navratri.
Footprints of Goddess Durga
According to Dr Mishra, the house into which Maa Durga’s feet fall will be blessed and the inhabitants’ fortunes will also be altered. Bring Maa Durga’s footprints to your house during Shardiya Navratri. But take care to not place them on the floor near the entrance to your home as many do. Guests or even you can accidentally step on them. Instead, place them in the Puja Ghar or the place of worship.
Bhagwati’s Bisa Yantra
Bring home Goddess Bhagwati’s Bisa Yantra during Navratri for an increase in wealth and property. Goddess Kali, Goddess Saraswati and Goddess Mahalakshmi reside in it. This yantra can completely change your fortune.
Kalash
Navratri starts with the installation of Kalash. It is a symbol of auspiciousness. You can bring a Kalash made of clay, brass, silver or gold as per your capacity.
Pennant or Flag
This Navratri, to seek the blessings of the Goddess, bring the flag of Matarani to your home and put it on the roof of your house during the auspicious time.
Trishul
Maa Durga’s primary weapon is the Trishul, which is also Lord Shiva’s preferred weapon. This Navratri, you might purchase a miniature trident and keep it in your puja area to receive Matarani’s blessings. It represents power.
Sindoor
Sindoor is a symbol of good fortune and Goddess Parvati enjoys unbroken good fortune. This Navratri, you should buy vermillion for your home, especially for married women. You can bring red or yellow vermillion.
