The fifth avatar of Mother Durga is Skand Mata, the mother of Skanda.
She was chosen by the gods to lead the war against the demons.
It is believed that by the mercy of Skandmata, even the foolish becomes an ocean of knowledge.
Incantation:
Singha-sangata nityam padmashrit kardhya
Shubh-dastu sada devi skandmata yasha-svini
Mantra:
Om Skandmatraye Namah
On the fifth day, devotees usually wear red clothing.
