In the Nine days of Navaratri, nine forms of the Goddess Durga are worshiped together with the help of Kanya Puja and they are requested to keep their family members happy and come next year soon. 

Kanya Puja starts with Saptami. Girls from 2 years to 11 years of age are worshiped. Mother Durga is believed to be pleased with the festivity and feasts of the girls and it is believed to bless their devotees with happiness and prosperity.

 Importance of Kanya Pujan: 9 girls of 2 to 11 years old are worshiped in Kanya Pooja. In fact, two-year-old girls are said Kanya, three-year are said Trinity, four years old are said Kalyani, five-year-old are said Rohini, six-year-old are said girl, seven years old are called Chandika, eight-year-old called Shambhi, nine-year-old called Durga, and daughter of ten years are called Subhadra. 

Girls are worshiped to get the fruits of all the auspicious works. By doing Kanya Pujan, one receives honor, money, education, and prosperity. It also removes an obstruction, fear of enemies from life. According to Devi Purana, when Indra asked Brahma Ji the method of pleasing Bhagwati, then he described Kanya Pooja as the best method. 

Nine little daughters and a boy are duly convened in the house and after washing their feet, worshiping is done by putting roli and kumkum on their head and feet. 

After this, they are given garments, ornaments, fruit, dish and food. Girls from 2 years to 11 years are considered to be the mother's form.
