Who is Maa Siddhidatri?

Maa Siddhidatri is the form of 'Adi Shakti' (The Supreme Goddess).

The Supreme Goddess initially had no form but when Lord Shiva worshipped Her to make Creation possible, She appeared in the form of Maa Siddhidatri from the left half of Lord Shiva.

She is the giver and governor of all Siddhis (Divine Powers).

Depiction of Maa Siddhidatri

Maa Siddhidatri is depicted as seated on a divine 'Kamal Pushpa' (Lotus flower) as well as seated on a Lion.

She is shown with four hands. The Goddess holds a 'Gada' (Mace) in one of Her right hands and a 'Chakra' (Celestial Discuss).

In Her left hands, She holds a 'Kamal' (Lotus) and a 'Shankh' (Conch).

Significance of Maa Siddhidatri Worship

Maa Siddhidatri governs all Siddhis (Celestial Powers) and bestows them on worthy devotees.

It might surprise people that even Lord Shiva got all Siddhis from Maa Siddhidatri.

The Goddess is worshipped by all- humans, Devas, Gandharvas and the Holy Trinity (Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva).

One gets all worldly comforts along with ultimate liberation 'Moksha' by the blessings of Maa Siddhidatri.

Her wholehearted worship brings Her unparalleled grace into the life of the devotee which results in success in all endeavours and a prosperous life.

Maa Siddhidatri governs and guides planet Ketu who though being a malefic planet otherwise, provides 'Moksha' in the end of a person's life, if only that Maa Siddhidatri blesses that person.

Problems related to planet Ketu are removed from life with the auspicious influence of Maa Siddhidatri in the life of a person.
