About Dhumavati Jayanti
Dhumavati Jayanti is observed on the Shukla Paksha i.e., waxing moon phase in Ashtami, Jyestha month.
Goddess Dhumavati is an embodiment of Goddess Durga(Shakti). Goddess Dhumavati is the seventh incarnation of Goddess Durga. She is believed to be the most enraged form of Goddess Shakti. Goddess Dhumavati is also known as 'Jyeshtha Nakshatra'.
'Dhuma' signify 'smoke', therefore, Dhumavati means one who is composed of smoke. So, she is the smoky form of Goddess Shakti. As the everlasting widow, she is Shakti without her Shiva. So, she reveals all that is flawed, the sadness, sorrows, disgrace, defeat, loss, disappointment, rejection and loneliness, and all the negative aspects in the ordinary existence of an individual in order that we may transcend it.

Legend of Dhumavati Jayanti :
The legend is associated with Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati (Shakti). One day, Goddess Parvati asked Lord Shiva the secret of Dhyaan (meditation).

Goddess Parvati attempted in finding out the hidden secret, but was not successful with all her potential endeavours. She became so annoyed, fuming and angry that she gulped down Lord Shiva. Because of the poison in Lord Shiva's throat she turned extremely tedious, terrible, frightening and repulsive. She started to produce a lot of heat and fire. Her mouth exhaled a lot of smoke, dust and fumes. Then Lord Shiva told Goddess Parvati, she will be worshiped in this avatar after her this actions. In this manner, she was known as Dhumavati (the one who induces smoke).
