Satchandi Pooja is one of the most powerful and sacred rituals dedicated to Goddess Chandi (Durga Mata), the embodiment of divine energy (Shakti). This grand Pooja involves the recitation of all 13 chapters of the Devi Mahatmyam (Durga Saptashati) and the performance of elaborate Homas and rituals. It is performed to invoke the blessings of Goddess Durga for victory, protection, prosperity, and spiritual upliftment.
