In Hindu tradition, Akshata refers to uncooked, unbroken rice grains offered during puja, paath, and sacred rituals.

Durga Saptashati is often viewed only as a sacred text for festivals, but many people read it regularly for a very practical reason — it helps create a calmer, more organised inner state.

Reading or chanting Durga Saptashati at home is more than a religious practice. For many households, it works as a simple daily routine that supports emotional balance, mental clarity, and a calmer home environment.
