When Is Chinnamasta Jayanti 2025? Here's How to Please the Goddess

Chinnamasta Jayanti is observed every year on the Chaturdashi of the Shukla Paksha in the month of Vaishakha. On this day, devotees worship Goddess Chinnamasta. It’s believed that those who undertake this fast with devotion have their wishes fulfilled and find relief from life’s hardships. "Goddess Chhinnamasta is depicted in a fierce and frightening form. That is why it is mainly practiced by Tantrics, Yogis and Aghoris. However, ordinary peoples can also worship Goddess Chhinnamasta to protect themselves from various kinds of calamities," states Drik Panchang.

Goddess Chinnamasta is known as a powerful deity who grants success in all endeavours. Devotees perform her worship with great reverence on this auspicious day in Vaishakh. According to Drik Panchang, "Goddess Chhinnamasta is the sixth of the ten Mahavidya Goddesses and belongs to the Kali Kula. Goddess Chhinnamasta is the Shakti of Kabandha Shiva. Goddess Chhinnamasta is also popularly known as Goddess Prachanda Chandika."
