On this day, worshiping Mother Parvati and Mother Durga, reciting Durga Saptashati, chanting the mantra ‘Om Dun Durgaayi Namah’ and feeding girls give special virtues. Due to Siddha Yoga, this day will also be favorable for education, business, property and beginning of new works. However, Rahukaal and One should avoid important tasks during Yamgand. If traveling towards North is necessary then consume jaggery or coriander and remember Goddess Durga before leaving the house.
