Navchandi Path is a sacred Hindu ritual involving the recitation of the Durga Saptashati, also known as the Chandi Path, over nine days. The Navchandi Path is typically conducted during auspicious occasions such as Navratri or during times of spiritual significance.
The Durga Saptashati, comprising 700 verses in praise of Goddess Durga, is divided into thirteen chapters or "adhyayas." During the Navchandi Path, each chapter is recited on a particular day, culminating in the completion of the entire scripture over the nine-day period.
The Navchandi Path is believed to invoke the blessings and protection of Goddess Durga, the divine feminine energy, and is performed to seek her grace, strength, and guidance. Devotees undertake this rigorous practice to overcome obstacles, attain spiritual growth, and foster inner strength and courage.
The Navchandi Path is regarded as a powerful form of worship, bestowing blessings, and divine intervention upon those who earnestly undertake this sacred ritual with devotion and sincerity.
