Hindu devotees worship her on the first day of Chaitra Navratri.
Maa Shailputri is revered as the provider of prosperity and fortune. Devotees honor her as Mother Nature and seek her blessings for spiritual enlightenment.
The Goddess is associated with the Moon. In Sanskrit, 'Shail' translates to 'mountain,' 'Putri' to 'daughter,' and thus 'Shailputri' means 'daughter of the mountain.'
She mounts a bull and is known as Vrisharudha. She has two hands - she carries Trishul in the right hand and a lotus flower in the left hand.
She signifies purity, innocence, peace and calmness.
