Durga Chalisa

The Durga Chalisa is a devotional hymn of 40 verses (chalisa means "forty" in Hindi) dedicated to Goddess Durga, one of the most powerful and revered deities in Hinduism. It praises her strength, compassion, and various forms, and recounts her victories over evil forces.

Chanting the Durga Chalisa is believed to bring protection, courage, and blessings from the Goddess, especially during difficult times. Devotees often recite it during Navratri and other festivals honoring Durga.
