    Why Pune

    Why families book pujas in Pune

    Pune, long called Poona and remembered as Punya Nagari, is the cultural capital of Maharashtra. Old Marathi families in the peths around Shaniwar Wada still keep a full household calendar of Satyanarayan Puja, Ganpati sthapana and Vastu Shanti, and the city's Ganeshotsav is famous across India.

    Pune is also one of the country's biggest destinations for IT and industry. Suburbs such as Hinjewadi, Wakad, Baner, Kharadi, Viman Nagar, Hadapsar and Wagholi are home to a very large number of families who have moved from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Delhi and other parts of North India, and they want Griha Pravesh, Karva Chauth, Chhath and Mundan done the way it was done at home.

    Many of these families are moving into new flats in gated societies, which means a proper Griha Pravesh or Vastu Shanti, and a Pandit who understands visitor passes and society rules on havan. PujaKarma helps you share your requirements on WhatsApp and connects you with a suitable Pandit, whether you follow Marathi or North Indian vidhi.

    Ritual life in Punya Nagari

    Pune's public Ganeshotsav took shape in the 1890s under Lokmanya Tilak, and today the city's pandals and the Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati draw huge crowds every year. The Kasba Ganpati is honoured as the city's gramdaivat, the Parvati hill temples and the Chaturshringi temple are old landmarks, and the Ashtavinayak temples, Bhimashankar and Jejuri lie within a day's travel. Each Ashadh the palkhis of Sant Dnyaneshwar and Sant Tukaram pass through Pune on the wari to Pandharpur.

    Inside Marathi homes, Satyanarayan Puja is performed after a wedding, a move or a success, Ganpati is welcomed for one and a half, five or ten days, and Vastu Shanti marks a new home. North Indian families across the city keep their own rhythm: Sundarkand Path on Tuesdays, Rudrabhishek in Sawan, Karva Chauth in society groups and Chhath arghya at lakes and river ghats.
