Kathmandu. On the second day of Navratri, Goddess Brahmacharini, the second of the nine goddesses, is worshipped in the Dashain house or puja room.

On the first day of Navratri, on Sunday, Ghatasthapana was performed according to the Vedic rituals in the Dashain house or puja room. On the same day, the first goddess of nine Durgas, Shailputri, was invoked and worshiped at the place of Ghatasthapana. On the second day, Goddess Brahmacharini is being invoked at the place of worship and worshiped according to the rituals.

During the nine days of Navratri, Durga Saptashati (Chandi), Shrimad Devi Bhagwat and Devi Stotra are recited at the site of Ghatasthapana.

There is a religious belief that worshipping the goddess on the occasion of Navratri will bring power, prosperity and knowledge. On this basis, the Vedic Sanatan Dharma devotees worship Goddess Durga every year from Ashwin Shukla Pratipada to Navami. The prasad worshipped for nine days is applied from Vijayadashami to Kojagrat Purnima.

Brahmacharini is the second goddess of the nine Durgas, which is believed to be the constant belief that all beings in the world are constantly aware of Brahma in the form of Satchidananda.

Devotees throng the Shakti Peeths across the country during Navratri. Similarly, Navdurga will be worshipped on behalf of the state and Goddess Brahmacharini will also be worshiped in the Dashain house of Hanumandhoka Durbar, according to the Hanuman Dhoka Durbar Care Office.
