Ashtchandi Path Havan

The Asta Chandi Path Havan is an elaborate Vedic fire ritual in Hinduism dedicated to Goddess Chandi (Durga), performed to seek her blessings for protection, success, and the removal of obstacles. The term “Asta” likely refers to eight recitations of the sacred text, distinguishing it from “Eka” (one), “Nava” (nine), or “Shat/Sat” (one hundred) recitations, though most sources focus on “Sat Chandi”.
