About this piece

The 7-Day Protection Ritual is the Devi Kavach read each morning before Durga, a red kalava on the wrist, and one practical act a day for the safety of the house. This kit holds a brass diya and wicks, kumkum and rice, a red chunri with gota for the image, kalava thread, the Durga Saptashati with the Kavach, and the notebook for the day's line. Seven day cards carry each day's act. Bring your own Durga image or murti; red flowers are from the market. Each item is also sold on its own; the kit is the cheaper way to begin.

Material: Brass, cotton, fabric, paper

Follow the day card each morning; the practice itself, day by day, is free at shiwalay.com/vidhi/7-day-protection-ritual.

Care
