Different days of Sharadiya Navratri are dedicated to the 9 forms of Maa Durga . On the fifth day of Sharadiya Navratri (Navratri 5th), it is customary to worship Skandamata. Skandamata has four arms. Lord Skanda is in her lap in her right upper arm and there is a lotus flower in her right lower arm. The left upper arm is in Varmudra and there is a lotus in the lower arm. It is believed that if the Vrat Katha is not recited during the worship of Skandamata, the devotee does not get auspicious results. Let's read the Skandamata Vrat Katha. This creates the possibility of child happiness.
Skandmata fasting story
According to the legend, there was a demon named Tarakasur. He pleased Brahma Ji by doing penance. He asked Brahma Ji for a boon to make himself immortal. After this, Brahma Ji explained to him that whoever is born has to die. Tarakasur got disappointed with this and said to Brahma Ji that Lord, please make me die at the hands of Mahadev's son. He did this because he thought that if Lord Shiva never gets married, then how will he have a son. Therefore, he will never die in life.

After this, he started torturing people. The gods and goddesses got upset with his atrocities and approached Lord Shiva. They prayed to Lord Shiva to free them from Tarakasura. In this situation, Lord Shiva married Parvati and became the father of Kartikeya. After growing up, Kartikeya killed Tarakasura. Lord Kartikeya's mother is Skandamata.
