News India Live, Digital Desk: There is a special tradition of Kanjak Pujan at the end of Chaitra Navratri. Nine girls are worshiped considering themselves to be the form of Mother Durga, but in this worship it is considered mandatory to have a small child, who in the folk language is called ‘Languriya’ It is said. According to religious beliefs, if Languria is not included in the Kanya puja, then Maa Durga does not accept that puja. Let us know the mythological mystery behind it and the importance of ‘Batuk Bhairav’.
Why is it important to have Languria (child)?
According to mythology, Lord Shiva sacrificed his own body for the service and protection of Mother Shakti. ‘Batuk Bhairav’ Was appointed. The small child who participates in Kanya Puja is considered to be the symbol of this Batuk Bhairav.
Safety symbol: Just as Bhairav Baba is the gatekeeper and protector of Maa Durga, similarly Languria is a symbol of protection of girls (goddess).
Symbol of Perfection: According to Tantra Shastra and Puranas, the worship of the Goddess is not complete unless Bhairava is worshiped along with her. That is why it is extremely auspicious and mandatory to have a boy with nine girls.
Relationship between Hanuman ji and Languria
In North India, especially Rajasthan and Braj region, ‘Languria’ is also considered the child form of Hanuman ji. The dialogues of Languria (Hanuman ji) with Maa Kaila Devi and Maa Durga are very famous in folk songs. Hanuman ji is considered to be the supreme devotee and servant of Mother Jagadamba, hence in the worship of the girl, the child is served by making her sit in the form of Languria.
Correct method and rules of Kanya Pujan (Kanya Pujan Vidhi)
Number: Ideally there should be 9 girls and 1 boy (Languria). If 9 girls are not available, then worship can be done with at least 2 girls.
Washing feet: As soon as girls and boys enter the house, wash their feet and make them sit on a clean seat.
Meal: Feed them satvik food of halwa, puri and black gram. Give the same respect and food to Languria as to girls.
Dakshina and farewell: After the meal, apply kumkum tilak on their forehead, tie Kalava on their wrist and seek blessings by touching their feet by giving them fruits, sweets or dakshina as per their capacity.
