The Dashgathra Prayer is a Hindu prayer recited on the tenth day of the month of Ashwin in the Hindu calendar. It is dedicated to the goddess Durga and is believed to bring peace, prosperity, and success to those who recite it with devotion. Although it is not directly related to births and deaths, it can be recited during these important life events as a way to seek the blessings of the goddess for the well-being of the newborn or the soul of the departed.
