About the Vidhi

The Ashtami havan begins with a sankalp, then Lord Ganesha is invoked and the Navagraha mantras are recited. Durga Saptashati, or selected verses from it, is recited and the sacred fire is lit. With every 'Swaha' offerings of ghee and samagri go into the fire. The havan ends with the purnahuti, the final offering that symbolises complete surrender, and then the aarti and prasad. A Durga Stuti is repeated three or nine times and a Shanti Path closes the havan. Many Gujarati families also offer nived to their Kuldevi on this day, as per their custom. Morning to early afternoon is the traditional time.
