श्री चण्डी होमम्

Sri Chandi Homa

The most powerful homa for victory over all evil · Goddess Chandi (Chamundeshwari)

The Sri Chandi Homa, performed with the Devi Mahatmyam (Durga Saptashati), invokes Goddess Chandi — the fierce form of Shakti who destroys all evil. It is considered among the most powerful of all homas, removing every kind of difficulty at the root.

“Om Aim Hreem Kleem Chamundaayai Vichche”
