Lord Shiva and Maa Parvati’s first son, Lord Kartikeya, was also known as “Skanda”. Hence, Maa Parvati is often referred to as Skandmata, which literally means mother of Kartikeya or Skanda.
Maa Skandmata is another form of Maa Durga and is believed to protect her devotees, just like a mother protects her child from harm. She is a powerful goddess whose love and care helped Lord Kartikeya defeat the demon Tarkasura.
Parvati performed penance for Lord Shiva and was instrumental in bringing Lord Skanda into this world. Therefore, Skandmata is worshipped during Navratri. She is the mother of a powerful and gifted child who restored peace and harmony among us.
