The main festival celebrated at Tekri is Navaratri, during which people from all over the country come to seek the blessings of Mata.

[4] Legend has it that Dewas Tekri is a Rakt Peeth (Shakti Peetha), where a few drops of Mata Sati's blood fell.

At this place, amidst the hills, goddess Raktvahini Chamunda Mata and self-manifested Tulja Bhavani appeared.

[8] According to beliefs, both forms of the Mother Goddess are present in an awakened state on this hill.

Lord Hanuman and Bhairav Baba intervened, requesting the goddesses to calm down and stay.

Pilgrims visiting the Tekri perform Parikrama, starting with Tulja Bhavani and concluding with a darshan of Goddess Chamunda.

It leads from Dewas to Bharthari Cave in Ujjain, through which the king would travel to seek blessings from Mata.

[11] During both Chaitra/Vasantik and Ashvin/Shardiya Navaratri, lakhs of pilgrims visit Tekri to seek the blessings of Mata.
