Durga Pooja

Durga Pooja is a powerful ritual dedicated to Goddess Durga, the divine embodiment of strength, protection, and cosmic energy. In astrology, worshiping Durga helps neutralize the malefic effects of Rahu and Ketu, which often bring sudden obstacles, confusion, and karmic challenges.

She also balances the influence of Mars (Mangal), transforming aggression and restlessness into focused energy and determination. By invoking Durga’s divine energy, devotees seek protection from negativity, victory over enemies, and the strength to overcome life’s hardships.

The pooja is especially auspicious during Navratri or on Fridays and Ashtami tithi (the 8th lunar day). Rituals involve chanting the Durga Saptashati or Devi Mahatmyam, offering red flowers, coconut, sweets, and lighting lamps with ghee.
