Devi Katyayani is one of the 6th Goddesses amongst Navdurga, a form of Goddess Parvati and worshipped during Navratri and also for the purpose of Early and Timely marriage of a Girl or Boy. Goddess Katyayani is associated with the fierce forms of Shakti or Durga, a Warrior Goddess, which also includes Bhadrakali and Chandika. She is associated with red color. When there are doshas like Mangal Dosha and other doshas in the horoscope delaying the marriage then this puja should be performed.

This Puja is also very good for those who have already performed the Pujas for specific doshas of the Kundli of the girl or boy and yet the marriage prospects are not looking bright. This puja should also be performed if the horoscopes of the Boy and Girl are not matching or there are problems in the Marital Life.
