Shat chandi path
Shat chandi is one hundred recitations of the Durga Saptashati. It is not one evening. The days are fixed before the first visit, and the path is done at the house or at the place the family keeps for it.

The rite
Shat chandi is one hundred recitations of the Durga Saptashati—a major vow requiring many sittings. Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma plans realistic daily counts for Bengaluru homes that cannot host overnight temple-scale schedules.
Time at the house: Multiple visits over weeks; about 2 hours per sitting typical
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
Hundred paths are never one apartment day; pause after each full recitation is logged. Spread visits to avoid Navratri traffic and neighbour fatigue from nightly guests.
Flower waste is high—plan temple donation or compost. Evening end times stay before quiet rules unless society grants festival exception.
