Worshiping a girl child can help to alleviate sadness and despair while bringing joy and abundance into the home. Also, people believe that Kanya Pujan is a very effective way to appease the goddess. But, in Kanya Poojan, you should ensure that the girls you have invited or are feeding are between 2 and 10 years old. You should feed at least nine girls as well. Get it done without a doubt.

A little ray of energy appeared in the darkness when the universe was completely dark, according to the mythology surrounding Mata Siddhidatri. This radiance gradually became larger. Moreover, it took on the appearance of a holy divine woman.
Tridev, also known as Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh was born when the goddess Siddhidatri first appeared. In addition, Lord Shankar obtained his eight siddhis with the help of Goddess Siddhidatri. Shiva’s body was divided into two halves in Mother Siddhidatri’s favor, giving him the name Ardhanareshwar.
In another tale, people say that the three gods formed the goddess Siddhidatri out of their brightness when Mahishasura’s misdeeds troubled them. The goddess then engaged in a prolonged battle with Mahishasura. Mahishasura ultimately got killed and got freed the three realms from his tyranny.
