A person who worships Lalita Gauri with all sincerity is sure to get all wealth and prosperity. Aswin Month, (Sept. Oct.) Krishna Paksha, Dwiteeya, 2nd day after Poornima is considered auspicious for performing special pooja of Lalita Gauri.
A person who takes bath in Lalita Teerth (now Lalita Ghat) and worships Lalita Gauri is sure to be blessed with prosperity. (Kashi Khand, Chapter 70).
LOCATION OF LALITA GAURI
Lalita Gauri is present at Ck.1/67, Lalita Ghat. If one desires to walk on foot, he will have to travel upto Dasaswamedh by rickshaw and walk through the Ghats upto Lalita Ghat and climb the steps. If the devotee is already in the Gullies in the vicinity, Nepali Pasupati Mandir is an important landmark. However, Nepali Pasupati Mandir is not mentioned in Kashi Khand, as such the same is not covered here.
Lalita Gauri is one of the 9 Gauris which are worshipped in Navratri falling in March-April (9 days preceding Ram Navami).
