Kumari Puja is a significant ritual during Navratri. Under this ritual 9 young girls between two to ten years of age are worshipped as nine manifestations of Mother Durga and are given food and gifts. A boy under 10 years of age, symbolically to safeguard the Kanyas (representing Lord Shiva), called as "Batuk Bhairav" is also worshipped.

Kumari Puja is also known as Kanya Puja and Kumarika Puja. Kumari Puja is done either on Ashtami (8th) or Navami (9th) day of Navratri. Girls between two to ten year are suitable for Kumari Puja. These girls represent nine forms of Durga and named as:

  1. Kumarika
  2. Trimurti
  3. Kalyani
  4. Rohini
  5. Kali
  6. Chandika
  7. Shanbhavi
  8. Durga
  9. Bhadra or Subhadra

- Six girls provides 6 types of Siddhi,
