Overview

Devi Bhagwat Katha for families in Rathyatra

Devi Bhagwat Katha is a recitation and discourse on the Devi Bhagavata Purana, which celebrates the Divine Mother as the supreme power. It is often held as a Navaah, a nine day programme that fits naturally with Navratri.

Rathyatra is one of the best-known crossings in central Varanasi, linking Sigra, Mahmoorganj and the roads towards the south of the city. Its name comes from the traditional Rath Yatra fair of Lord Jagannath held in the area each year.

सर्वमङ्गलमाङ्गल्ये शिवे सर्वार्थसाधिके।

शरण्ये त्र्यम्बके गौरि नारायणि नमोऽस्तु ते॥

Devi Mahatmyam (Durga Saptashati)

Planning Your Puja in Rathyatra

The crossing is congested for much of the day; early-morning slots are easiest.
During the Rath Yatra fair, expect road diversions and heavy crowds nearby.
Commercial buildings may restrict open flames, so check before a havan.
Parking can be limited near the crossing; arrange a drop-off point for the Pandit.
Decide between a nine day katha and a shorter format.
Plan daily puja, kanya puja and prasad.
