What is the religious significance of Kanya Pujan?
Kanya Pujan holds special significance during Navratri. It is performed on the eighth and ninth days of Navratri. During Kanya Pujan, nine young girls are fed and respectfully bid farewell with Dakshina (gifts). According to Hindu beliefs, these nine goddesses are considered the nine forms of Goddess Durga. Therefore, according to the rituals, the girls are worshipped as the mother goddess.
Never give these items as gifts to a girl child.
During Kanya Pujan during Navratri, girls are fed as the mother goddess, but they are never sent off empty-handed. Some gift is always given. If you are thinking of giving a girl child a gift, you should never give them plastic or steel utensils, glass items, or sharp objects like knives, scissors, or any other sharp objects.

Must give these items as gifts to a girl child
If you wish to gift a girl child during Kanya Pujan during Navratri, give something that the mother goddess can use. For example, young girls love cosmetics. Therefore, giving them cosmetics is considered very auspicious. Also, it is very auspicious to give fruits, books, and toys to the girl after Kanya Pujan.
