Navaratri Pooja
नवरात्रि पूजा
The rite
Navaratri Pooja spans nine nights of Devi worship—Shailaputri through Siddhidatri in many North Indian calendars—with ghatasthapana, daily lamp, and kanya puja on ashtami or navami. Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma can visit for the opening and closing days or on a schedule you agree for mid-festival mantras, helping Bengaluru families who work weekdays but want authentic vidhi at home rather than only garba events. Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma serves North Indian Vedic pooja at the client house across Bengaluru and nearby towns within the usual visit radius. The WhatsApp thread before the day covers samagri quantities, parking, and whether children or elders need seated arrangements near the altar. Mention any society rules about incense, terrace access, or guest parking when you message on WhatsApp so the visit stays smooth for neighbours and family.
Time at the house: Opening/closing 2–3 hours each; daily visits shorter if scheduled
Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma does this at the house in Bengaluru. The fee is not printed on this page. It is sent on WhatsApp with the material list.
Why families book it
Book when you are hosting Devi for the first time in a new apartment, when children should learn the nine forms story, or when fasting mothers need a priest to lead evening aarti after office. Partial booking also suits families who travel on one weekend but want proper sthapana before leaving the kalasha with daily diya instructions.
Navaratri is devotion and discipline; it does not assure wealth or victory over rivals. Panditji helps set realistic daily time commitment for working households. Working parents can keep evening aarti short on weekdays when Panditji visits only for ghatasthapana and kanya day. This page does not list fees, ratings, or street addresses, and it does not promise marriage, job placement, or medical cures. Booking uses the site WhatsApp form; nothing from this page is stored in a database.

Questions
Must pandit come all nine nights?
Flexible packages—discuss daily vs key days on WhatsApp.
Garba and puja same night?
Puja usually earlier; keep noise rules for neighbours.
Single working woman hosting?
Evening slots and simplified daily duties provided.
Vs Navratri Kalash Sthapana and Havan page?
That listing stresses havan; this is full festival puja framing.
Non-veg during navaratri?
Most families stay vegetarian; pandit states kitchen rules.
Invite how many kanyas?
Tradition favours odd number; adapt to apartment space.
Shardiya vs Chaitra?
Tell pandit which navaratri you observe when booking.
What should we prepare before Panditji arrives?
Clear a clean floor or table space, arrange samagri from the WhatsApp list, and keep drinking water ready for elders. Pets are best kept in another room during sankalpa.
