Shailaputri is the daughter of the Mountain King Himavat and is a manifestation and form of the Hindu mother goddess Mahadevi, representing herself as the pure form of goddess Parvati. She is the first Navadurga venerated during the first day of Navratri and is a reincarnation of Goddess Sati. According to Hindu beliefs, Goddess Shailaputri is an incarnation of Devi Sati. In this incarnation, she was the daughter of King Daksha Prajapati who was the son of Lord Bramha. The festival of Navratri begins with the sacred ritual of Ghatastapana, which is also believed to invoke Goddess Durga. Shailaputri is depicted having a half-moon on her forehead, holding a trident in her right hand, and a lotus in her left while riding Nandi, the bull. In Navratri, recitation of Maa Shailputri Mantra gives peace of mind and keeps away all the evil from your life and makes you healthy, wealthy.
