Goddess Gayatri is regarded as the personified form of the Gayatri Mantra, one of the most powerful and spiritually significant mantras in Hinduism.

Gayatri Jayanti celebrates the divine power of the Gayatri Mantra and the birth of Goddess Gayatri, who is said to have incarnated to impart knowledge and protect righteousness (Dharma).
