FAQ
Q.What is a Hindu puja?
A puja is a ritual of worship in which a deity is invited, honored, and prayed to through prescribed offerings. It can be a simple 5-minute daily ritual or an elaborate ceremony lasting several days.
Q.Do I need a priest for a puja?
Simple pujas like Ganesh Puja, Lakshmi Puja, and Hanuman Puja can be performed by any devotee at home. Complex rituals like Rudrabhishek, Vastu Shanti, and life ceremonies (Sanskars) benefit from a qualified priest (pandit).
Q.What is the most important puja to perform?
Ganesh Puja is traditionally the first and most important puja — performed before all other rituals and new beginnings. For prosperity, Lakshmi Puja is most important. For planetary remedies, Navgraha Puja is primary.
