Today marks the commencement of Navratri, and on this auspicious occasion, we honour and revere the first manifestation of the divine Mother, Maa Durga, known as Shailputri. Shailputri's name derives from 'Shail,' signifying the Himalayas, where she took her birth as the daughter of the mountain king Himalaya. She is also recognised as Parvati, the beloved consort of Lord Shankar. With her sacred mount, the bull, she is affectionately called Vrishabharudha. In her right hand, she wields a trident while cradling a lotus in her left hand.
