Today, 16 October, is the sixth calendar day of Navaratri. Katyayani is honoured in the traditional Navadurga sequence. Phulpati follows tomorrow, 17 October.

Katyayani is portrayed as a powerful goddess in devotional accounts, with meanings associated with courage and resisting wrongdoing. Household Durga worship and Jamara care continue.

Families can discuss their Phulpati preparations and the materials used in their own custom. Anyone attending a public observance should check the organiser’s confirmed schedule. This cultural guide does not claim that a particular ceremony has already taken place.
