Chaitra Navratri Day 9 

On the ninth day of Chaitra Navratri, we worship Maa Siddhidatri. This day is also known as Ram Navami. This day is significant for performing special rituals to seek the blessings of Goddess Siddhidatri, who bestows her devotees with all sorts of siddhis. Goddess Siddhidatri is depicted with four hands, seated on a Lotus and riding a lion. She has a Gada in one hand, a Chakra in the other right hand, a lotus flower in one left hand and a Shankh in the other left hand. She symbolises the unchanging form of divine energy, and bestows wealth and health in life.

One can offer bhog made with sesame seeds to the Goddess during Chaitra Navratri to achieve all the siddhis.
