Shat Chandi

What is Shat Chandi Puja?

Shat Chandi Puja is an ancient Vedic ritual dedicated to Goddess Durga, performed to invoke her blessings for protection, prosperity, and victory. It involves the recitation of the Durga Saptashati (also known as the Chandi Path) 100 times, which glorifies the triumph of Goddess Durga over the demons symbolizing the destruction of evil forces. The ritual is accompanied by elaborate offerings and Havan (fire ceremony), making it one of the most potent ways to connect with the divine energies of the goddess.

Shat Chandi Puja is typically performed during auspicious occasions such as:

• Navratri: The nine days dedicated to worshipping the nine forms of Goddess Durga.
• Durga Ashtami: The eighth day of Navratri, which is especially auspicious for invoking the power of Goddess Durga.
• Special Occasions: Birthdays, weddings, or when starting new ventures like businesses or projects.
• During Times of Crisis: When one is facing extreme difficulties, health issues, or major obstacles in life, this puja is believed to remove negative forces and attract divine grace.

Our priests perform the Havan with complete dedication, offering ghee, herbs, and sacred items into the fire while chanting powerful mantras. The Havan amplifies the divine energy of the puja, purifying the surroundings and channeling the blessings of the goddess towards the devotee. Each mantra recited during the Havan has a specific intention, whether it’s for protection, prosperity, or spiritual cleansing.
