Katyayani Mata is a special form of Durga Maa who is worshipped on the sixth day of Navaratri. She embodies feminine power. Young girls who are ready for marriage chant Katyayani Mantras to seek her blessings for a quick marriage.
By chanting these Mantras, you can seek blessings from Maa Katyayani. She helps clear hurdles in love and brings happiness to your marriage. It's believed that worshipping Maa Katyayani on Thursdays can also strengthen Jupiter in the horoscope and lessen any negative effects these planets may have.
"Kati" refers to Sage Katyan. He is the father of Katyayani. "Ayani" means 'daughter of' or 'born from'. So, "Katyayani" means 'the daughter of Sage Katyayana'.
Katyayani was born to stop the terror of Mahishasura. She had an extraordinary appearance with three eyes and eighteen hands, shining brightly like a thousand suns. Each god gave her a weapon to defeat Mahishasura. Riding on a lion, Goddess Katyayani went to the Vindhya Mountains where the demon lived.
Ma Katyayani fought a strong battle against Mahishasura. She beheaded the demon with her sword. This victory is celebrated as Durga Puja in many parts of India. Since Goddess Katyayani defeated Mahishasura, she is also known as Mahishasuramardini.
According to Bhagvata Purana, young girls in Gokula fasted during the month of Margashirsha, praying to Goddess Katyayani for Lord Krishna as their husband. They made a clay idol of the goddess and worshipped it.
This tradition continues today as well. Girls fast on Thursdays to please Katyayani Mata who will help them in finding good husbands. In Tamil Nadu, Devi Kanya Kumari, a virgin goddess, represents Katyayani and is worshipped during Pongal, which is at the same time as Makar Sankranti.
