According to DrikPanchang.com, “On Maha Ashtami, nine small pots are installed and nine shaktis of Durga are invoked in them. All nine forms of Goddess Durga are worshipped during Maha Ashtami Puja. Young unmarried girls, being treated as Goddess Durga itself, are worshipped on Maha Ashtami. Worshipping of young girls during Durga Puja is known as Kumari Puja.” It is a very auspicious occasion, marked on the second last day of the Navratri celebrations, the puja is observed many people around the world.
Some devotees also observe the same puja on Navmi, which is being observed on October 4. According to Drik Panchang, the Navami tithi begins at 04.37 pm on October 3 and ends at 02.20 pm on October 4. On this special day, a special Mahasnan or Shodhasopachar Puja is also performed.
