Maha Saptami, the seventh day of Navratri, which marks the beginning of Durga Puja, is being celebrated today. One of the most significant rituals on Saptami is the Kalabau or Naba Patrika Snan (bathing ceremony), which holds a special place in the Durga Puja celebrations. Maha Saptami reminds us that inner strength and courage can overcome negativity. It is not merely a religious observance but a celebration of resilience, positivity, and unwavering faith in the divine.
