देवी शैलपुत्री का अवतरण पर्वतराज हिमालय की पुत्री के रूप में हुआ था| वे वृषभ या बैल पर विराजमान हैं, उनके यशस्वी मुखमण्डल पर अर्ध-चंद्रमा सुशोभित हैं एवं उन्होंने हाथों में त्रिशूल एवं कमल धारण किये हैं| माँ दुर्गा के इस मनोरम स्वरूप की आराधना नवरात्रि के प्रथम दिवस पर कर, साधक न केवल मनोवांछित लाभ की कामना करते हैं वरन् अपनी आध्यात्मिक यात्रा में कठिन से कठिन चोटी को चूमने हेतु माता शैलपुत्री का आवाहन भी करते हैं|
Devi Shailaputri appeared as the daughter of the King of Mountains – the majestic Himalayas and hence came to be known as such. She rides a bull and holds a trident in one hand and a lotus in the other. A crescent moon adorns the forehead of this illustrious form of Durga who is worshipped on the first day of Navratri not only for fulfillment of all wishes but also for commencing one’s journey to the zenith in all spiritual and worldly endeavours.
