Why is Kanya worshiped in Navratri
Worshiping the girl during the time of Navaratri has special significance. The nine girls are worshiped as reflections of the nine goddesses. People open fast after consuming prasad on Navami and Dashmi Tithi after worshiping the girl. It has been said in the scriptures that the best day for worshiping the girl is Durgashtami. This day is considered very auspicious for the worship of girls. After worshiping the girl, mother Durga is pleased by giving charity Dakshina according to her strength.
What is the age of the girl in worshiping the girl
The age of girls sitting in Kanya Poojan should be between 2 to 9 years. You can feed nine or more girls. There should also be a child with it. Because the way the worship of Mother Durga is not complete without Bhairava, similarly it is necessary to have a child in the worship of the girl. Which is considered as Bhairav.
