Kanya Pujan or Kanjak Pujan (Navratri 2025 Kanya Pujan) is considered very important during Navratri. According to beliefs, your fast is considered complete only by worshipping the girl and you get the blessings of Maa Durga. For this, 7, 9 or 11 girls are invited and they are fed. Along with this, they are given some gifts and Dakshina.
How is Kanya done
First of all, wash the feet of the invited girls with clean water and make them sit on a seat. After this, apply kumkum and rice tilak on all the girls. Now drape the girls with the mother's dupatta and serve them food.
Enjoy these things
You should offer halwa, puri and chana to the girls. You can also give coconut as a gift to the girls who come to your home. Keep in mind that the food given to the girls should be completely satvik.
Give these things as gifts
You can give the girls cosmetics like bangles, bindi, red colour, study-related items like pencil, copy, bag etc. Along with this, after Kanya Pujan, give some money to the girls as Dakshina. By giving all these things, Mata Rani is pleased and you get the full benefit of Kanya Pujan.
This is how you send off the girls
Girls should never be sent away from your home empty handed. Before sending the girls away from home, touch their feet and take their blessings. Send the girls off respectfully while chanting the praises of Mata Rani. Keep this in mind that the house should not be cleaned immediately after sending the girls away.
