Jagadhatri
Puja is devoted to Mother Jagadhatri who is considered and known as another
form of Shakti, the Supreme mother goddess of the Hindus. Next to the well
known Durga Puja celebrated all over the state West Bengal, Jagdhatri Puja is
also celebrated with the same fervor and enthusiasm. Jagadhatri worship is
mostly celebrated only in the state of West Bengal and is not much known much
outside the state.
The cult of Jagadhatri is derived from the Tantra where she is the symbol of
Sattva beside Durga and Kali and is respectably symbolised with Rajas and
Tamas. Jagadhatri Puja is celebrated on the 9th lunar day of the light
fortnight of the month of Karthika as mentioned in the
"Krityatattarnab" by Srinath acharyachuramoni of the 15th and 16th
century.
