Lalita Jayanti is observed on the Purnima, or full moon day, in the month of Magh (January - February)
Lalitha Jayanthi 2026 is Today February 1.
In the 18th Purana, the Brahmanda Purana, there is a holy text titled Lalita Sahasranama. It is considered one of the most important texts in the entire history of human spirituality, and Shaktism gives it particular prominence in their worship of Durga, Lakshmi, Parvati, Kali, Bhagavati, among other devis. It is in the Lalita Sahasranama that we find one of the most important descriptions of Tripura Sundari. In a hymn to the goddess, she is described as being enthroned as a queen, covered in radiant jewels, with the marks of a married woman. Her figure is that of the divine feminine, and she wears a crescent moon on her forehead. Her smile transfixes all, especially Kameshwara, lord of desire. Under her throne sit five Brahmas.
It is also common to see icons of the goddess sitting on a lotus flower atop the god Sadashiva, who lies supine over Brahma, Vishnu, Isvara, and Rudra. Still other depictions have her wearing tiger skin, being made of crystal, and using the Himalayas as her throne.
The day is of great significance in some regions in North & South India. Special pujas and rituals are held on the day.
