Synopsis
Key Takeaways
On the fourth day of Shardiya Navratri, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini offered devotional greetings to the people of the state, invoking the blessings of Maa Kushmanda — the fourth form of Goddess Durga — for happiness, prosperity, and good health across every household in Haryana.
In a post shared on Wednesday, 14 October 2026, CM Saini wrote: 'Maa Kushmanda ke charno mein koti-koti naman' ('Countless salutations at the feet of Maa Kushmanda'), extending wishes that 'every home be filled with peace and prosperity, and that new energy and positivity flow into all lives.'
The significance of Maa Kushmanda on Navratri's fourth day
Maa Kushmanda is venerated as the goddess who created the universe with her divine smile, and is associated with the sun's energy and radiance. Worshipped on the fourth day of Navratri, she is believed to bestow health, strength, and vitality upon devotees. The festival of Shardiya Navratri — observed in the autumn month of Ashwin — is among the most widely celebrated Hindu festivals across northern India, with Haryana holding a strong tradition of community worship and cultural observances.
A CM's seasonal message to 'samast pradeshvasiyon'
CM Saini addressed all residents of Haryana — 'samast pradeshvasiyon' — expressing his wish that the goddess's grace keep the state 'continuously moving forward on the path of progress.' Such festive outreach is a well-established public engagement practice among chief ministers of northern states, where Navratri carries deep cultural and electoral resonance. Saini, who assumed office in 2024, has regularly marked major Hindu festivals with social media messages since taking charge.
