SIDDHESHWARI

Kashi Khand has prescribed Durga Devi Yatra during Navratri where devotees have been exhorted to worship Durga Devi on all the nine days of Navratri.

Devotees worship Siddheshwari Devi on the 9th  day of Navratri falling in September-October.

Maa Durgas 9th form is Siddhi Dhatri. She gives all sorts of siddhi to her devotees.  There are several types of Siddhis mentioned in various Purans. According to Devi Puran, Lord  Shiva attained all the Siddhi by her blessings. His half body assumed the form of  Goddess. So he is also called Ardha Narishwar.

Kashi Khand, Chapter 14, Shlok 68

 

सन्ति पीठान्यनेकानि क्षितौ साधकसिद्धये 

परं योगीशवरीपीठाद् भूपृष्ठे नाशु सिद्धिदम्

 

Although there are many Peets in the earth which give Siddhi to the seekers (ardent devotees); But at present there is no other place like this (Siddh) Yogeshwari Peeth (Siddheshwari Peeth) on the earth which will give Siddhi soon.
