Durga Kavach
Durga Kavach Path at your home in Bengaluru by Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma. Kavach path, not the full Saptashati. Ask on WhatsApp for the visit area within about 100 km.
Durga Kavach
दुर्गा कवच पाठ
The rite
Durga Kavach is the protective armour chapter from the Devi Mahatmya, read without the full seven hundred verses of Saptashati. Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma leads it for Bengaluru homes that want Devi protection remembrance in a shorter sitting.
Time at the house: About 50–80 minutes with puja
Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma does this at the house in Bengaluru. The fee is not printed on this page. It is sent on WhatsApp with the material list.
Why families book it
Kavach path fits lunch-break mornings for working women who return to office after prasad. Pauses are short—only after the opening argala if your edition includes it.
Apartment-friendly: no fire, modest flower count, and no loud drum. Inform neighbours if you expect many women guests at the door during security checks.
