According to astrologers, it is very important to worship nine girls during Navratri. These nine girls are worshiped as nine forms of the mother. It is believed that Mata Rani herself comes to her devotees in the form of small girls and bestows blessings. This is the reason why Navratri worship is considered complete only when you feed nine girls. On this day, halwa, puri and black gram are offered to Goddess Durga. This food is served to the girls and then all the members of the house consume this prasad.
Many times, if due to some reason you are not able to perform Kanya Puja, there are many solutions for this. According to astrologers, in such a situation, devotees should worship by placing five types of dry fruits, money and other things at the feet of the Mother Goddess with devotion and then give them to the girls of the neighborhood. If you cannot feed the girls then you can also give fruits.
If there are no girls in your neighborhood, then you can go to any temple of Mother Goddess and do charity as per your devotion. Here you can give the necessary items for Kanya Puja. This will also be considered similar to Kanya Puja. You can also provide food to dependent and needy girls. Because feeding the hungry is considered the greatest virtue in Sanatan Dharma.
You can worship Kanya on both Ashtami and Navami days. It is important to keep some things in mind while worshiping the girl. The age of girls should be between 2 to 10 years. Always perform Kanya Puja with full devotion. Girls should feel happy and honored to come to your house. Always make girls sit on the seat. Then wash their feet with clean water. After this, apply kumkum and akshat and do the tilak. If possible, make all the girls wear red colored chunari. After this, feed the girls Puri, Halwa, Kale Chale, coconut etc. Give them Dakshina and gifts. Also give the seeds sown on the first day of Navratri to all the girls. After this, bid farewell to the girls after taking their blessings.
