About Durga Deepa Namaskara

Durga Deepa Namaskara is a beloved Karnataka tradition in which 108 or 1008 ghee / oil lamps are lit in rows before an image or idol of Goddess Durga, and the devotee offers full namaskaras (prostrations) as each lamp's prayer is recited. Immensely popular among South Indian families in Bangalore, especially during Navratri, Sankata Hara Chaturthi, and every Friday of Ashadha / Shravana, this ritual is believed to burn negative karma, destroy fears, and invite Durga's protective shakti into the home.

Most auspicious during Ashada, Shravana, and Navratri. Fridays in Shukla Paksha, Ashtami and Navami tithis, and Durga Ashtami are ideal. Can also be performed for specific intentions, health recovery, children's welfare, protection from enemies, overcoming fears, at any time.

Frequently asked questions

Is this an all-day ritual for 1008 lamps?

The 108-lamp version takes around 2 hours; the 1008-lamp version takes 3–4 hours. We scale the setup based on your space and time availability.

Can this be performed at home in a Bangalore flat?

Yes. For the 108 version we need a clean area of about 6×4 feet. The 1008 version needs 8×6 feet. The lamps are arranged in tight rows on a fire-safe platform with our pandit supervising.

Can I perform it for a family member's recovery or children's success?

Absolutely, this is one of its most powerful uses. The Sankalpa is taken in the beneficiary's name and gotra. Families often perform it for exam success, health recovery, and protection.
