Durga Saptashati Path and Chandi Havan
For Shielding the Family from Evil Eye, Accidents, and Negative Vibrations
🙏 Are you worried about the safety of your loved ones or feel a heavy shadow over your home?🌸 Protect your home and loved ones invoke Maa Durga’s divine shield this First Ashtami of 2026 ✨🙏
The Puranas recount that the demon Mahishasura once spread terror across the three worlds, and none of the Gods could stop his reign of destruction. To restore balance, the energies of all deities combined to create Maa Durga, granting her extraordinary weapons, immense courage, and divine energy. In a fierce battle that shook the heavens and earth, she destroyed the demon, demonstrating that no obstacle or malevolent force is too powerful when faced with the light of the Goddess. This story assures devotees that the grace of Maa Durga is capable of eliminating even the most persistent forms of fear, uncertainty, and negative influence.
On the first Ashtami of the year, the Sri Mandir First Ashtami Durga Mahapuja provides a sacred opportunity to align with Maa Durga’s protective energy. During this puja, the Durga Saptashati is recited to recount her victories over evil, and the Chandi Havan is performed with offerings of ghee, grains, and flowers into the holy fire. The smoke, carrying the powerful vibrations of the mantras, purifies the home and mind, dissolving negative energies and restoring spiritual balance. This ritual creates a divine protective circle around the family, shielding them from accidents, jealousy, evil eye, and unseen adversities.
Through this powerful First Ashtami puja, devotees invite Maa Durga’s blessings of healing, peace, prosperity, and protection, ensuring that the home remains filled with light, courage, and divine strength throughout the year. By participating, the family draws closer to the Goddess, reinforcing faith and spiritual resilience from the very start of the new year.

About 9 kilometers from Katra is the Nav Durga Temple, dedicated to the nine forms of the Goddess. The temple is set within a natural cave, where rock formations naturally resemble the nine forms of Maa Durga. Devotees visit this holy place to receive the blessings of all nine goddesses.
During Navratri and on Fridays, the sanctity of this place is especially heightened. Performing rituals here during this period is believed to bring immense spiritual benefits. Devotees carry out special ceremonies, including Kanya Poojan and Durga-Chandi Havan, which are considered highly auspicious and fruitful.
⭕ Note: This is not the main Vaishno Devi temple. The puja will be performed at the Nav Durga Temple located at the foothills. It is believed that performing rituals at this sacred site is equally beneficial.
