Types of Chandi Homam: Nava, Shata & Sahasra Chandi
Chandi Homam Types
Nava, Shata and Sahasra Chandi explained — the scales of Chandi Homam and how to choose the right one for your need.
Types of Chandi Homam
Chandi Homam is performed at different scales according to how many times the Durga Saptashati (700 verses) is recited. A larger count means a longer, more elaborate yagam with more ritviks (priests) and is chosen for the gravity of the need.
Nava Chandi
The Saptashati is recited 9 times. The most commonly performed scale, suited to family protection and most needs.
Shata Chandi
Recited 101 times — a major homam for serious obstacles, healing and significant undertakings.
Sahasra Chandi
Recited 1,001 times — a grand yagam with many ritviks, for the most serious situations and community welfare.
Ayuta & Prayuta Chandi
Recited 10,001 and 100,001 times — the largest, rarest yagams, performed for great causes.
