A short period of time, viz. the last ghaṭikā⁴⁴⁹ of Mahāṣṭamī and the first ghaṭikā of navamī, was called 'sandhi'. During that period of two ghaṭikās a pūjā of Devī together with Yoginīs is to be performed which is deemed to be the holiest pūjā (Ghosh p. 120) This pūjā is to be performed like the pūjā on Mahāṣṭamī, but the bali is to be offered at and after the Mahā-navamī begins⁴⁵⁰ and not during the last ghaṭikā of Mahāṣṭamī.
