The popular ritual of ‘Kanya/Kumari Puja’ is held during which of the following festivals?
Sharad Navaratri
The correct answer is Sharad Navaratri.
The number of girls worshipped is usually nine, symbolizing the nine forms of Goddess Durga (Navadurga). Alongside the girls, one young boy (known as 'Langur') is often worshipped as well, representing Hanuman, a devoted servant of the divine. This ritual is a beautiful expression of devotion, respect, and gratitude towards the divine mother energy during Navaratri. While Sharad Navaratri is the most prominent period, Kanya Puja is also performed during Chaitra Navaratri.
