Durga Matha Abhishekam and Chandi Parayanam

Durga Matha Abhishekam

Goddess Durga is the embodiment of Shakti, the cosmic energy that protects the righteous and annihilates negativity. Durga Matha Abhishekam involves bathing the idol with milk, turmeric, kumkum, honey, and flowers, symbolising purity and devotion.

The Chandi Parayanam, the recitation of Durga Saptashati from the Markandeya Purana, is a sacred ritual performed to invoke her blessings for courage, prosperity, and removal of obstacles.

“या देवी सर्वभूतेषु शक्तिरूपेण संस्थिता ।
नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमो नमः ॥”

Families in Hyderabad and Secunderabad perform this ritual especially during Navaratri or before important life transitions. It is prescribed for those seeking protection from enemies, relief from financial struggles, and strength in overcoming challenges.

By invoking Durga Devi, devotees gain fearlessness, inner confidence, and a shield against unseen adversities. The rituals ensure balance, harmony, and prosperity in both spiritual and worldly aspects of life.
