Ganesh pooja
Ganesh pooja is the worship of Ganesh at the house. Families book it before a start: a move, a wedding, a shop, or any work they want to begin with Ganesh.

The rite
Ganesh pooja is the everyday-start worship of Vighnaharta before any auspicious work, done with durva, modak, and short aarti at home. Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma performs a full North Indian vinayaka puja in your Bengaluru puja room when families want proper shodashopachara beyond the quick morning darshan.
Time at the house: About 1.5 to 2 hours
Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma performs this as a home visit in Bengaluru. Share your area and preferred slot on WhatsApp; the samagri list is sent before the day. This page does not list fees or promise worldly results.
Why families book it
Hosts book before housewarming guests arrive to keep Ganesh first in the schedule.
Students start new coaching year with pandit-led puja instead of only self-lighting diya.
