Katyayani Keychain · Navratri Night 6

Courage, and standing up for what's right.

Katyayani is the warrior devi, the sixth of the nine forms of Durga. She appeared in the ashram of the sage Katyayana and rode her lion into battle against the buffalo demon Mahishasura, and won.

She is the strength that shows up when something needs putting right. Carry her when you need to stand up for yourself or someone else. She is also traditionally prayed to for a good marriage.

What the details mean

• Chandrahasa sword: the curved "moon-laughing" sword. Courage that cuts through wrongdoing.
• Lotus: held in her other hand. Strength with a clean heart.
• Blessing hands: one says "fear not", the other gives. Power used to protect, not to scare.
• Tall crown: she is in charge.
• Lion: bravery.
• Green sari: the colour of night six, for growth and new life.

These are the common readings. Families and regions tell them in different ways, and that's part of the joy of it.
