The holy occasion of Navratri is going on in such a situation; on Monday, October 7, Maa Skanda Mata is worshipped with rituals. It is said that those who worship her get supernatural power. At the same time, those who cannot have children or those who wish to have children should also worship Maa Skanda. Maa Skanda Mata has four arms, holding Lord Skanda with her right arm.
Her lower arm is a lotus flower, and her left arm is in Varada Mudra. Mata Rani rides a lion, and because she is Gaud Varna, she is also called Gauri. If you want to please your mother, wear white clothes. Also, Kheer Prasad should be offered to Maa Skanda Mata.
She talked about Lord Skanda, the gods’ commander in the famous Devasura war. Being the mother of Lord Skanda, this fifth form of the mother is known as Skandamata. The mother sits on a lotus seat.
On the fifth day of Navratri, worship Skanda Mata with rituals.
First of all, take a bath in Brahma Muhurta and wear clean clothes.
After worshipping, spread a mat and sit.
Then, bathe the idol of the mother with Ganga water.
After this, offer food to the Goddess.
Then, perform the Goddess of the Mother and worship with rituals.
What to offer?
You can offer kheer and bananas to Skanda Mata. Both these things are very dear to Mata Rani.
