Overview: Worship the Nine Forms of Maa Gauri in the Eternal City

The Nav Gauri Yatra is a revered pilgrimage in Kashi that takes devotees through nine sacred temples dedicated to nine manifestations of Maa Gauri—the divine consort of Lord Shiva and the embodiment of strength, beauty, and motherhood.

According to the Kashi Khanda of the Skanda Purana, these nine goddess forms were established when Lord Vishwanath came to Kashi accompanied by Maa Annapurna (Maha Gauri). This yatra blesses devotees with marital bliss, feminine strength, prosperity, and spiritual awakening.

Ideal for unmarried women, married couples, and spiritual seekers, this journey is traditionally recommended for those wishing to receive Akhand Saubhagya (unbroken prosperity).
