Festival Puja
New Year Group Puja
"The Vedic tradition never begins anything important without a sankalp, and no sankalp is larger than a whole year. This group puja takes that sankalp on the first day of the year, in Kashi. Ganesh Ji is worshipped first, as he must be, to clear the path of the twelve months ahead. Vishnu Ji is invoked to preserve and carry every undertaking. Lakshmi Mata is invoked for prosperity through the year. The Navagraha are pacified so that no planetary period turns a good year sour. The worship closes with the Panch Devta, the five deities of the Panchayatana tradition, Ganesh, Vishnu, Shiva, Devi, and Surya, whose combined presence leaves no direction unguarded."
Shreenath Ji Puja
"Shreenathji is the beloved child form of Lord Krishna. He shows the Lord as a boy of seven years. The famous murti lifts Mount Govardhan on one raised finger. Krishna lifted that hill to shield the village from heavy rain. The Pushti Marg, founded by Shri Vallabhacharya, worships him with deep love. Devotees treat him as a living child, not a stone idol. They wake him, bathe him, feed him, and rest him each day. His worship is full of song, colour, and bhog. He grants growing wealth and lasting joy to the home. Families turn to him for grace, comfort, and a happy household."
Maha Shivratri Group Puja
"Maha Shivratri is the great night of Lord Shiva. The shastras tell many tales of this sacred night. Some say Shiva married Parvati on this day. Others say he danced the cosmic dance of Tandav. It is the holiest night in all of Shiva worship. Devotees keep a fast and stay awake through the night. They bathe the Shivling and chant his sacred name. This group puja joins many devotees in one worship. The shared prayer on this night carries great strength. It washes away sin and grants the grace of Shiva. Devotees seek peace, plenty, and a happy life."
Kamdev Rati Puja
"Kamdev is the god of love in Hindu tradition. Rati is his consort, the goddess of desire and bliss. Together they rule the bond between husband and wife. The shastras say their grace keeps married love alive. When that love cools, the home loses its warmth. Distance and dryness creep into the marriage. This puja calls on Kamdev and Rati to bring back the spark. It deepens the bond and brings joy to the couple. The worship is most loved in the spring season. Spring is the season of Kamdev and new bloom. Devotees seek their blessing for a happy married life."
Siddhi Kunjika Stotra
"The Kunjika Stotra is a powerful hymn to Mata Durga. The word kunjika means a key, the key to all power. The shastras say it holds the strength of the whole Durga Saptashati. One recital of it is said to equal the full text. It needs no long ritual and no hard rules to bear fruit. Mata Durga herself gave this hymn to Lord Shiva. She told him to keep it secret for its great power. The stotra grants the Mother's grace swift and sure. It clears enemies, fear, and every kind of trouble. Devotees chant it for strength, success, and protection."

Deepawali (Diwali) Puja
"Deepawali (Diwali) is the biggest festival in the Hindu calendar. Every family prepares for it weeks in advance. The home is cleaned, diyas are lit, and everything is kept ready before the muhurat arrives. Mata Lakshmi walks the earth that night. She enters homes that are waiting. The ones that are not, she skips."
Sheetla Mata Puja and Yajna
"Sheetala Mata is the cooling form of the Divine Mother. Her name means the one who brings coolness and calm. Hindu tradition reveres her as the goddess who guards against disease. People worship her to keep illness away from the home. She rides a donkey and carries a pot of healing water. Her worship is most loved in the hot months of the year. Mothers pray to her for the health of their children. She cools fever, heals the body, and brings peace to the home. Her blessing is said to bring success and plenty too. Devotees have turned to her for protection for ages."
Mahalay Shradh Puja
"Mahalay Shradh falls in the sacred fortnight of Pitru Paksha. Hindu tradition holds that the ancestors come down to earth then. They wait for their children to offer them food and water. To skip this duty is said to leave the forefathers hungry. Their rest depends on the care the family gives. This puja offers pind and tarpan to the departed. It honours them on their own death date within the fortnight. The grace of pleased ancestors then flows to the living. It brings peace, plenty, and joy to the home. Families have kept this duty for countless generations."
Mangla Gauri Puja
"Mangla Gauri is a loving form of Mata Parvati. She is one of the great Shakti forms revered in Kashi. The shastras hold her as the giver of married joy. Unmarried girls pray to her for a good husband. Married women pray to her for the long life of their spouse. She also blesses couples with healthy children. Her worship clears the Manglik Dosh from the chart. This dosh often delays or troubles a marriage. Mangla Gauri removes that block and smooths the path. Her grace brings peace and harmony to the home. Devotees worship her on Tuesdays and in the month of Shravan."
Lakshmi Ganapati Hawan Puja
"This puja joins Mata Lakshmi with Lord Ganapati in a sacred fire. Ganapati clears the blocks that hold a person back. Lakshmi then brings wealth that stays and does not slip away. The shastras call this lasting wealth sthir Lakshmi. Many earn well but cannot hold their money. This puja works to fix that very problem. The havan, or fire ritual, carries the prayers straight to the gods. Each offering into the fire is a step toward plenty. Business families turn to this puja for steady growth. It is most loved at Diwali, the festival of Lakshmi."
