On the fifth day of Navratri, devotees pray to this form of Mother Divine – Skandamata.


‘Skandamata’ literally means ‘mother of Skanda’ or Karthikeya, God of War. Lord Karthikeya was chosen to be the commander-in-chief of the army of devas or gods that was waging war on the Asuras or demons.


Ma Skandamata Devi has four arms. In two of her hands, she carries a lotus. She supports her divine son, Karthikeya with one arm. The fourth hand is in a blessing position to grant the wishes of her devotees. She has three eyes. She is depicted holding her six-faced son, Karthikeya, with one of her arms.


She is seated on a lotus, and so, is also known as Padmasana. She rides a lion. Her complexion is white, and so she looks bright.


Ma Skandamata Devi has a benevolent and blissful face as she carries her divine son. Her power lies in the strength of a mother’s love. She blesses her devotees wholeheartedly, showering them with affection comparable to the maternal love she shows her son.


Devotees who pray to Ma Skandamata Devi with a pure and dedicated heart are blessed with wisdom, wealth, power, prosperity, and salvation. They experience peace of mind, satisfaction and bliss. It is said that her blessings make the most intellectually-challenged person intelligent. She enables her devotees to move towards deeper consciousness, which is the path towards moksha or enlightenment.
