The name "Chandi" has its roots in the Sanskrit word "chand," which means "tear apart." Chandi is the fierce embodiment of Goddess Durga. In the Chandi Homa, a group of learned Brahmins recite verses from the sacred book Durga Saptashati 100 times. The Durga Saptashati or Chandi Path consists of 700 verses from the Markandeya Purana, which elaborate on the glory of Maa Durga. Reciting these verses is considered the most effective, meritorious, and beneficial way to worship the Mother Goddess.

In the Markandeya Purana, Lord Brahma Himself stated that every human should recite Durga Saptashati as it offers protection. Reciting the Chandi Path blesses one with Vaikunth in the afterlife. The power and benefits of Sat Chandi Path and Yagya are mentioned in numerous Vedic scriptures such as Bhagavata Purana, Shrimad Devi Bhagwat, and many more. According to ancient sages, the verses of Durga Saptashati not only state the glories of the Mother Goddess but are also a formula or method. When these verses are sung or recited, they create powerful vibrations that destroy all negativities and bring immense auspiciousness.
