There will be 108 Names Archana for the corresponding deities.

Each night for these nine nights there will be puja (traditional Vedic worship ritual) and we will read and chant nightly from the Devi Mahatmyam, the scripture describing the story and feats of the Divine Mother.

A final puja on the morning of the tenth day represents the victory of the Goddess over the asuras (demons or negative qualities).

Donations of flowers and prasad (sweet foods) are welcome.
