Maa Kalika — the fierce Devi who cuts through darkness and a hostile drishti
Shri Gadhkalika Mandir at Ujjain is an ancient Kalika Shakti Peeth, the seat of Maa Kalika, worshipped as the fierce Devi who cuts through darkness and a hostile drishti, and revered as the ishta-devi of the poet Kalidasa.
The Durga Saptshati and Navchandi anushthans are the sevas most often taken here — the full recitation performed in your naam-gotra by acharyas of the Peeth, with the video sent afterwards.
4 sevas are open for booking right now.
It is the full recitation of the seven hundred verses of the Durga Saptshati, with the Navchandi hawan where the seva calls for it. The recitation count and the number of acharyas is what distinguishes one tier of this anushthan from another — not the number of days.
Choose one of the 4 sevas listed below, enter your naam and gotra, and complete the payment. On the appointed tithi an acharya of the Kshetra takes the sankalp in your naam-gotra and performs the vidhi.
Yes. After the seva is complete an HD video is sent to your WhatsApp number, generally within 24 hours, in which your naam and gotra can be heard in the sankalp.
