Choosing the Right Location


Consecrating the Yantra

Once you have found the ideal location, it's time to consecrate the Navdurga Yantra. Follow these steps: 

Navdurga Yantra consecration
  • Place some fresh flowers on the Yantra as a symbol of devotion and purity.
  • Light an oil lamp to create an atmosphere of spirituality and enlightenment. 
    Sprinkle a few drops of water on the Yantra four times, representing the purification of the surroundings. 
  • Perform a bath for the Yantra using milk, followed by a bath with clean water. In tradition, this step purifies the Yantra and prepares it for worship. 
  • Repeat the process with yogurt, pure desi ghee, sugar, and honey, each time followed by a bath with clean water. These substances hold sacred significance.
  • After the final bath, bathe the Yantra with a mixture of milk, yogurt, ghee, sugar, and honey, symbolizing the infusion of divine blessings. 
  • Clean the Yantra thoroughly with clean water, ensuring it is free from any residue.
    Apply a kumkum (vermilion) tilak to the Navdurga Yantra, signifying that it is ready for worship. 
  • Install the Yantra on a pedestal or sacred cloth, elevating its presence and importance in your home.

Offerings and Mantra Chanting

You can also make offerings to the Navdurga Yantra and chant mantras. Follow these additional steps: 

  • Place a handful of rice grains on the Yantra as an offering, symbolizing abundance and sustenance. 
  • Offer a sweet delicacy as a bhog (offering), expressing gratitude and devotion. 
  • Take water in your hand, make a sankalp (vow), and chant the mantra 
"Om Dum Dum Dum Durgayai Namah" 

5000 times. 

In tradition, this mantra invokes the blessings of Maa Durga. Devotees perform these rituals with sincerity and faith.
