4) Navaratri Day#3 Lalitha Tripurasundari Puja @ 6 pm - On the 3rd day of Navaratri, we offered puja to Goddess Lalita who is considered as the Hindu Goddess of beauty and enjoyment. She comes in the third position among the Dasha Mahavidyas and also known by the names Tripurasundari and Shodashi. Goddess Lalita Tripurasundari is also one of the nine forms of goddess worship on Navaratri. She is depicted as a sixteen-year-old extremely beautiful goddess who blesses mankind with sixteen advices. Tripura denotes three cities or three worlds, while Sundari means, beautiful woman. This Goddess is thus ‘the beauty of the three cities or the three worlds’. She is a personification of compassion and grace, as much as she is of beauty. Worshipping her, one can get relief from problems like delay in marriage, marital problems and disharmony, infertility, poverty, debts and various misfortunes. They can also get protection against the ill effects of planet Mercury. A total of 26 participants attended the puja (both at center and online) to receive Devi Lalitha Tripurasundari's grace.
