Durga Puja is a ceremonious occasion, wherein a number of rituals are performed to please the deity of power and courage - Goddess Durga. On the occasion, the devotees of the Goddess chant mantras and sing bhajans, to praise her. One of the very ancient mantras is Durga Kavach, which is a compilation of special shlokas from the Markandey Purana. A part of Durga Saptashti, the shlokas of Durga Kavach should be pronounced accurately, because it is said that wrong pronunciation decreases the power of the shlokas. Chanting Durga Kawach during the festival is considered auspicious by devotees of Ma Durga. So, this Durga Pooja, chant Shree Durga Kawach and seek the blessings of the deity. Given below is Shri Durga Kavach.
