Puja Vidhi पूजा विधि

🙏 Please follow your family/local tradition. Verified by a priest: pending.

We publish only steps and mantras that come from a public-domain source text, with the page cited for every step. We do not write puja steps ourselves; where the source is silent, we say so.

Coming soon

• नवरात्र — घटस्थापना एवं दुर्गा पूजा
  Navaratri — Ghatasthapana & Durga Puja
  Coming soon — sourcing and verification with a priest in progress.
  • Vratarāja (1897) has a ‘घटस्थापनविधिः’ section, but it is mainly about timing rules (muhūrta), plus a Devī-Purāṇa Navarātra-vrata later in the book; both still need transcribing and checking against the scan.
  • Durgā Saptaśatī (Devī Māhātmya, Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa) is on Sanskrit Wikisource (मार्कण्डेयपुराणम्) and could be added as the pāṭha text.
• नित्य पूजा
  Daily (Nitya) Puja
  Coming soon — sourcing and verification with a priest in progress.
  • Vratarāja lists the 16 upacāras (quoting older texts) — needs scan check.
  • ‘Nitya Karma Paddhati’ (Venkateshwar Press, 1913, archive.org) is a likely PD source; its OCR is unusable, so it needs page-by-page reading.
  • Gita Press ‘Nityakarma Puja Prakash’ is modern and copyrighted — not used.
