Navami Havan Vidhi (Step-by-Step)
- Clean and purify the place where you’ll do the havan.
- Set up the havan kund and arrange all your samagri neatly.
- Sit with calm mind, hold rice, water, and flowers, and take a vow before Maa Durga.
- Start chanting “Om Aim Hreem Kleem Chamundayai Vichche” or read from the Durga Saptashati.
- Add the havan samagri to the fire with each mantra — about 108 times if possible.
- Offer to all gods, the Navagrahas, and finally to Maa Durga.
- Take a coconut, wrap it with Kalawa, fill with a coin or betel nut, dip in ghee, and offer it into the flame.
- End with Durga Aarti, say sorry for any mistakes, and thank the Goddess.
- Feed little girls — the Kumaris — as part of the Kanya Pujan.
- After this, most people break their Navratri fast. The whole home smells of ghee and flowers — it’s such a beautiful, grounding feeling.
Navami Havan is actually about starting fresh. The ritual teaches patience and humility. And when you see those little girls smile during Kanya Pujan, you’re reminded what devotion really looks like.
