Durgashtami Chamunda & Bhadrakali Dual Shaktipeeth Chadhava

This Durgashtami, experience the union of two divine forces of Shakti — Chamunda and Bhadrakali — through a Dual Temple Chadhava Sankalp, performed at Chamunda Devi Shaktipeeth, Himachal Pradesh, and Bhadrakali Temple, Kurukshetra, Haryana.

It is a once-a-year opportunity to receive both protection from destruction and blessings for creation in one sacred act of devotion.

Durgashtami is the most powerful tithi of Navratri, when the Devi’s Shakti reaches its fullest manifestation. It is the day when the fierce yet compassionate Mother Goddess destroys negativity and establishes divine order.

Offering a Chadhava at two Shaktipeeths on this day combines the purifying and blessing aspects of Devi worship — creating a perfect spiritual balance.

At Chamunda Devi Shaktipeeth (Kangra), where Maa Sati’s hair had fallen, the Goddess appeared as Chamunda, the fierce warrior who vanquished demons Chanda and Munda. This sacred energy helps devotees destroy hidden fears, obstacles, legal troubles, enemies, and dark planetary effects. She wipes away every shadow that blocks one’s progress.

At Bhadrakali Temple (Kurukshetra), where Maa Sati’s right ankle fell, the Goddess resides as Bhadrakali, the auspicious form of Kali who blesses her devotees with peace, prosperity, family unity, and material growth. She restores what was lost and fills life with divine light after Chamunda clears the darkness.

Performing the Dual Temple Chadhava on Durgashtami invokes both of these divine powers —

• Chamunda’s destructive force to eliminate negativity, and

• Bhadrakali’s benevolent grace to rebuild with abundance and peace.

Together, they bring spiritual cleansing, divine protection, material prosperity, and lasting happiness — a complete blessing of the Goddess in one sacred act.
