Moola Mantra:

“Om Aim Hreem Shreem Sri Lalita Tripurasundari Padukam Poojayami Namah”

Sinduraruna vigraham trinayanam manikyamauli sphurat

Tara nayaka shekharam smitamukhi mapina vakshoruham

Panibhyamalipoorna ratna chashakam raktotpalam bibhratim

Saumyam ratna ghatastha raktacharanam dhyayet paramambikam –1

The Divine mother is to be meditated upon as shining in a vermilion-red body, with three eyes, sporting a crown of rubies studded with the crescent moon, a face all smiles, a splendid bust, one hand holding a jewel-cup brimming with mead, and the other twirling a red lotus…2

Dhyayet padmasanastham vikasitavadanam padmapatrayatakshim

Hemabham pitavastram karakalitalasad hemapadmam varangim

Sarvalankara yuktam satata mabhayadam bhaktanamram bhavanim

Shrividyam shanta murttim sakala suranutam sarva sampatpradatrim ..3

The Divine Goddess is to be meditated upon as seated on the lotus with petal eyes. She is golden hued, and has lotus flowers in Her hand. She dispels fear of the devotees who bow before Her. She is the embodiment of peace, knowledge (vidyaa), is praised by gods and grants every kind of wealth wished for.
