The Story of Mahagauri

Mahagauri is the Goddess restored to dazzling pure-white radiance after her long penance, serene and luminous as moonlight, riding a white bull, granting peace and forgiveness.

She is the calm that follows the fierce nights, the purity and grace of the Mother, worshipped on the eighth day of Navratri.
