In Magura, Katyani Puja has become the most popularly celebrated religious festival.....During the programme, Magura district swings to the beat of Katyani, and the whole district town and its adjoining areas wear a festive look, while thousands of enthusiastic spectators from home and abroad gather in their masses, irrespective of their religious outlook, to participate in the festivities. The festival runs all day for five days, but the party really gets going at night.
The idol of Katyani Devi is similar to that of Durga; an image of Lord Sree Krishna is also placed at the mandap during the performance of Katyani rites. According to Hindu scriptures, during the 'Dapor Era', Lord Shree Krishna, before appearing on earth, had sent his parents along with other family members to the mortal world. The inhabitants of Vraja worshipped Katyani Devi to obtain Shree Krishna along with his father Basudev and mother Devokee as the son, friend, husband and god.
The Gopbalas (milk maids) of the "Dapor Era" were said to be the first ones to observe the Katyani Puja at the beginning of Dewali (the Bengali months of Kartik and Agrahayan) along the banks of Jamuna. The idols they made were similar to "Devi Durga". In fact, Katya Devi is said to be a different form of Durga.
It is said that If woman is not getting married or separating from her husband then Maa Katayani puja is best Puja. Goddess Katayani is 6th Durga among Nava Durga. Goddess Katayani represents Venus the planet of love.To get Krishna as a husband gopis worship Ma Katryayani as Vraj. So she is established as the Queen of Vraj, Ma Katayani represents very pure form of love. Her skin is like gold & she has 4 hands. She is worshipped to get true form of love and marriage. This puja is especially done by woman, however man also do this puja to get pure love and happiness in Love...............
Relation to CB: Radhika has now separated from her husband, Dev and has entered the kingdom of Katayani Devi...................Both Radhika and Katayani devi have strong personalities......It will definitely be a personality clash between the two.............While Radhika is modest and shows her strong personality only when needed, Katayani(MataRamji) is filled with ego.............but I think CV's have used this name for her, with a reason..................Despite the strong personality, eventually this MataRamji will united the separated couple..................
