Goddess Siddhidatri signifies knowledge and wisdom, helping her devotees to attain perfection, happiness and purity of heart. Siddhi means “perfection” and Dhatri means “giver”, which means she is the Goddess of accomplishment who blesses her devotees with perfection. 

On the ninth day of the Navratri, it is believed that Goddess Durga killed the demon Mahishasura.

Happy Dusshera and Maha Navami!
