October 14, Thursday marks the ninth day of Navratri Puja in the Ashwina month of the Hindu calendar. Maha Navami is the third and final day of the Durga Puja. The festivities today begin with Mahasnan and Shodashopachar Puja. Today, Goddess Durga is worshipped as Mahisasuramardini meaning the Annihilator of the Buffalo Demon.
It is believed that on Maha Navami, Goddess Durga killed the demon Mahishasura. Note that depending on the starting time of Navami Tithi on the previous day, the Maha Navami Puja and Upavas would be done on the Ashtami Tithi. The rule is that if Ashtami and Navami merge before Sanyakal on Ashtami Tithi, then the Ashtami Puja and Navami Puja including Sandhi Puja are held on the same day.
