Durga Saptashati
Durga Saptashati Path at your home in Bengaluru by Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma. One path. The nine-day anusthan is separate. Chandi Path is the same book, so it is not a second URL. Ask on WhatsApp for the visit area within about 100 km.
Durga Saptashati
दुर्गा सप्तशती पाठ
The rite
Durga Saptashati path is the complete Devi Mahatmya—three charitras honouring the Goddess's victories. Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma recites with disciplined breaks between chapters at your Bengaluru home.
Time at the house: About 2½–3½ hours in one sitting, or split across evenings
Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma does this at the house in Bengaluru. The fee is not printed on this page. It is sent on WhatsApp with the material list.
Why families book it
Chapter breaks allow elders to stand, sip water, and rotate flower offerings without breaking reverence. Splitting across two evenings suits apartments where three continuous hours strain knee joints.
Chanting volume is steady, not shouted; close puja room doors if television plays next door. No homa unless separately booked—smoke-sensitive societies prefer path-only visits.
