Om hreem shreem Katyayanay namaha. Goddess Katyayani, the sixth form of Durga, is worshipped on the 6th day. Ma katyayani is the slayer of the evil rakshas or demon Mahishasura. Ma Katyayani was created with the combined shakti or powers of all the other Gods, whom also gave Mata each of their weapons which we can see in all of her arms.
Devotees offer honey as bhog. She is revered for her fierce form and courage. Worshippers pray for courage and strength. The color associated with this day is green, symbolizing power and determination.
