On the auspicious second day, devotees pay homage to Goddess Brahmacharini, the epitome of purity and austerity. She is depicted walking barefoot, clad in a simple yet radiant white sari, symbolizing her commitment to asceticism and devotion. In her right hand, she gracefully holds a rosary, representing focus and meditation, while her left hand carries a sacred water vessel, signifying purity and sustenance. Her serene and composed expression reflects unwavering determination, and a gentle golden halo surrounds her, emphasizing her divine nature. The backdrop often features a tranquil mountain landscape, echoing the setting of her rigorous penance, as she inspires love, loyalty, wisdom, and knowledge in her devotees.
