1,100 Chandi Paths in Ujjain — A Great Anushthan of Maa Durga
The 700 verses of the Durga Saptashati are the greatest hymn to Maa Durga, and tradition holds them to be the strongest protection from opponents, fear, illness and planetary affliction. This anushthan is 1,100 Chandi Paths. Our pandits perform the puja, the 1,100 paths and the havan in Ujjain with the sankalp in your name and gotra, and you watch live from home.
What Is Chandi Path?
The Durga Saptashati — the 700 verses, 13 chapters and three charitras of the Markandeya Purana — tells of Maa Durga’s victory over Mahishasur, Shumbh-Nishumbh and other asuras, and its recitation is called Chandi Path. The larger the count, the greater the anushthan — here <strong>1,100 Chandi Paths</strong> are performed with your sankalp.
Chandi Path vs Navchandi vs Shatchandi vs 1,100 Chandi Paths
For nine paths in Navratri see Navchandi Durga Puja. The full difference is explained in this article.
When Chandi Path Is Done
- Opponents, court cases or disputes
- Fear of negative energy or the evil eye on the home or a person
- Hardship in a Rahu, Ketu or Saturn dasha, or from graha dosh
- A long illness or one crisis after another
- Navratri, a wish to be fulfilled, or the start of new work
The order and rules of a Saptashati recitation are in Durga Saptashati Path Vidhi.
