What decides the cost of a Durga Saptashati Path
The full path is three to four hours of continuous recitation, which is the longest single sitting quoted here, and some families ask for more than one pandit so the reading can be shared. The navaha kept over nine days is nine appointments and is quoted as such.
What is different in Gaya
Through Pitru Paksha the town's pandits are committed to the ancestral rites for the fortnight, so a domestic booking in that window is competing with the busiest two weeks of the local year. Outside it, travel within Gaya is short and the samagri sold around Vishnupad and the ghats is the cheapest on this list.
