Introduction: What is Jagaddhatri Puja?

Jagaddhatri Puja is a grand Hindu festival primarily celebrated in West Bengal, Odisha, and parts of Assam. The word Jagaddhatri means “the Mother of the Universe”. She is considered an incarnation of Goddess Durga, who symbolizes power, courage, and universal motherly strength.

Jagaddhatri is worshipped as the protector and sustainer of the world — the divine force that maintains cosmic order after Durga’s victory over evil. The festival occurs on Shukla Navami of the Kartik month, which in 2025 falls on Friday, October 31, coinciding with Akshaya Navami.
