Worship Goddess Shailputri on Day 1 of Navratri
Also known as Hemavati and Parvati, Goddess Shailputri carries Trishul in her right hand a lotus in her left hand. Goddess Sati, after self-immolation took birth as the daughter of Himalaya, hence the name Shailputri. In Sanskrit, Shailputri is an amalgamation of two words- 'Shail' which means mountains and 'Putri' which means daughter. Devotees worship the first avatar of Goddess Durga, Shailputri on the first day of Navratri. It is believed that moon is governed by the Goddess. Moon is considered to be the owner of fortunes, hence, worshipping the Goddess brings luck.
