Chandi Havan - 1000 Days at Sri Bhuvaneswari Avadootha Peetham, Pudukkottai

Sahasra Chandi Havan: A 1000-Day Maha Yagna at Sri Bhuvaneswari Avadootha Peetham 

The Chandi Havan or Chandi Homam is among the most potent and spiritually transformative Vedic fire rituals performed to invoke the Divine Mother in her fierce and compassionate form — Goddess Chandi (Durga or Mahakali). 

As per Devi Mahatmyam and Markandeya Purana, reciting the Durga Saptashati and performing Chandi Havan pleases the Divine Mother, who is the embodiment of Shakti. When performed in Sahasra format (1000 recitations), the effect is manifold and reaches cosmic dimensions. 
 
At Sri Bhuvaneswari Avadootha Peetham, Pudukkottai, this grand ritual is being performed every single day for 1000 consecutive days, making it a spiritually rare and magnanimous event. 

• Note - this is Chandi Homam conducted for 1000 days

What is Sahasra Chandi Havan? 

Sahasra means 1000, and Chandi refers to the fierce form of Goddess Durga who destroyed demons like Mahishasura, Shumbha, and Nishumbha. The havan involves repeating the Durga Saptashati (700 verses) from the Markandeya Purana 1000 times, typically accompanied by Navakshari Mantra japa, fire offerings, and Devi pujas. 

Astrological & Spiritual Significance 

According to Vedic astrology, the Chandi Homam is especially powerful in removing the ill effects of Rahu, Ketu, Saturn, and Mars. It helps in strengthening the Lagna (Ascendant) and nullifying doshas in one’s birth chart.
