Vastu Shanti Puja in Bengaluru · Gujarati
Vastu Shanti is performed to correct vastu doshas (imbalances in a building's design) and bring harmony, health and prosperity to the home or office.
Why is Vastu Shanti Puja performed?
When a house has structural vastu issues or after renovation, the puja pacifies the vastu purusha and the directional deities.
Who performs it?
Done alone or together with Griha Pravesh; common in North and West India.
When to perform it
Usually together with Griha Pravesh, or after renovation or when a home has structural vastu concerns, on a muhurat chosen by the pandit.
Preparing at home
Discuss with the pandit which rooms or directions concern you. Keep the house clean, and space for a small havan with good ventilation.
After the puja
Some families keep a vastu yantra in the puja room afterwards and continue simple daily prayers.
Regional traditions
Performed widely in North and West India; in South India similar rites are part of the Ganapati Homam and Vastu Homam at a housewarming.
Things to avoid
Vastu Shanti does not replace structural safety — consult an engineer for real defects.

- Ganesh puja — Lord Ganesha is worshipped first to remove obstacles, with akshat, flowers, durva grass and a sweet.
