So the sixth day of Navratri is dedicated to Durga Katyayani. She is called Katyayani because she was born as the daughter of Sage Katya of Katya clan. Sage Katyayan performed very hard penance for Maa Bhagvati. He wished that wish that he can get Maa Durga as his daughter. Maa accepted his request. Meanwhile, demon Mahishasura, who could only be killed by a warrior Goddess, had reached heaven to overthrow the Gods from their abode. The trinity of Gods – Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, got infuriated and they created the Goddess Durga, who was the combination of all the powers of all deities. Sage Katyayana had the first privilege to worship her, thus she was also called Katyayani.

She has three eyes and four arms. She is seen having a weapon in her left hand and lotus in other hand. The other two hands respectively display defending and granting gestures. She is golden in colour. Her mount is a lion. Gopis worship Maa Katyayani in Vraj to get Lord Krishna as their husband. So she is established as the Queen of Vraj.
