About this ceremony

Sacred Mantra

ॐ

“Om Aim Hreem Kleem Chamundaayai Vichche”

What it feels like

The Sri Chandi Homa is the grandest of them all — seven hundred verses of the Devi Mahatmyam offered into a great fire. To witness it is to be overwhelmed: the chanting, the flames, the sheer force of the Divine Mother gathered to dissolve every difficulty at its root.

What happens inside the Sri Chandi Homa

Performed in the authentic VDS Vaidic paddhati — Sankalpa, Ganapati Puja, Kalasha Sthapana, Punyahavachanam, the consecration of Agni, the deity's offerings, and the final Purnahuti.

  3. 3

    Durga Saptashati Parayanam

  5. 5
