Navratri Day 1: Maa Shailaputri Puja

On the first day of Navratri the Goddess is worshipped as Shailaputri, daughter of the mountain king Himalaya; the first form of Parvati, linked to the Muladhara chakra and to the Moon. Each of the nine forms reflects one stage of the Mother's story and one quality the devotee asks for.
