Karnavedh
Karnavedh at your home in Bengaluru by Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma. Ear-piercing sanskar. Ask on WhatsApp for the visit area within about 100 km.
Karnavedh
कर्णवेध
The rite
Karnavedh is the ear-piercing samskara for infants or toddlers, with mantra before the goldsmith or nurse pierces, and turmeric aftercare guidance. Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma conducts the short puja at your Bengaluru home so piercing happens in auspicious order, not only at a jewellery shop without prayer.
Time at the house: About 45 minutes to 1 hour plus piercing time
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.
