Overview

Chandi Homam for families in Shaikpet

Chandi Homam is a fire ritual dedicated to Goddess Chandi, the fierce form of Durga. It is traditionally performed alongside the recitation of the Durga Saptashati (Devi Mahatmyam), with offerings made into the holy fire as its verses are chanted.

Shaikpet lies between Tolichowki, Film Nagar and Gachibowli in west Hyderabad. It is one of the older settlements of the area, with a Qutb Shahi era sarai among its landmarks, and has grown rapidly with apartment blocks along the main road.

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

Yā devī sarvabhūteṣu śaktirūpeṇa saṁsthitā, namastasyai namastasyai namastasyai namo namaḥ.

To the Goddess who dwells in all beings in the form of power, salutations to her, again and again.Devi Mahatmyam (Durga Saptashati)
