Durga Saptashati Path in Hyderabad
During Dasara, Hyderabad comes alive with Devi Navaratrulu, Bathukamma and pandals across the city. Many families mark the season with a Durga Saptashati Path at home, known to Telugu families as Devi Mahatmyam parayanam.
A Pandit recites the full path with the preliminary stotras and a havan, in the North Indian or South Indian style your family follows.
या देवी सर्वभूतेषु शक्तिरूपेण संस्थिता।
नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमो नमः॥
Yā devī sarvabhūteṣu śaktirūpeṇa saṁsthitā, namastasyai namastasyai namastasyai namo namaḥ.
