About Durga Saptashati Path
The Durga Saptashati is seven hundred verses on the goddess's defeat of Mahishasura, Madhu and Kaitabha, and Shumbha and Nishumbha, read in thirteen chapters. A full path takes three to four hours and is read in one sitting; families that cannot sit that long keep the navaha over nine days or have named chapters read instead.
It is kept through both Navratris, on Ashtami and Navami, and at a Shakta household's own occasions. The reading is preceded by a kalash sthapana and a sankalp, and the text has its own rules — the kavacha, argala and kilaka before it and the Devi Suktam after — which a pandit who works in this tradition will keep to.
Keeping a rite in Muzaffarpur
Muzaffarpur sits on the Maithili–Bajjika boundary, and its rites follow Mithila's karmakanda more often than the generic north Indian one. The differences show at a wedding and at a shraddh — which day carries which rite, and what is offered — and they are worth naming when the booking is made.
The town is dense in the middle and open at the edges, so an address near the Company Bagh and one on the Muzaffarpur–Sitamarhi road are very different journeys. Shravan takes the local Shiva bookings to Baba Garibnath and the queue with them.
