Chandi Havan is a powerful and elaborate Vedic ritual dedicated to Goddess Durga in her fierce form as Chandi. This havan (fire ceremony) involves the recitation of the Durga Saptashati (Devi Mahatmyam), which consists of 700 verses extolling the victories of the goddess over various demons.
The ceremony is performed by experienced priests who chant specific mantras and offer oblations into the sacred fire to invoke the goddess’s blessings. The Chandi Havan is believed to remove severe negative energies, and obstacles, and protect devotees from evil influences. It brings health, prosperity, and success, and bestows strength and courage to overcome challenges. This havan is particularly effective during Navratri or other auspicious occasions and promotes spiritual growth and overall well-being.
