À la porte orientale de la cité fut installée la Déesse « Demeurant au Seuil » (Dvāravāsinī). Son observance a lieu au neuvième tithi (Navamī) de la quinzaine sombre (Kṛṣṇa-pakṣa) du mois de Caitra.
Nārada
Tirtha: Dvāravāsinī (Pūrva-nagara-dvāra)
Type: ghat
Listener: Pāṇḍava
Scene: At the eastern gate, a small but potent Devī shrine: Dvāravāsinī seated with weapons and boon-giving hand; devotees observe Navamī with lamps, red flowers, and a vrata thread, as dawn light enters from the east.
Time (tithi) and place (dvāra/kṣetra) together shape dharmic practice—specific dates intensify the fruit of worship.
