Annapurna Puja in Varanasi
Varanasi is the city of Maa Annapurna. Her temple stands close to Kashi Vishwanath, and the tradition holds that she nourishes everyone who lives in or comes to Kashi. Annakut and Annapurna Jayanti are especially loved here.
A Pandit can perform Annapurna Puja at your home or hotel with worship of the Devi, blessing of the kitchen and grain stores, stotra path and aarti.
वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ।
निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा॥
Vakratuṇḍa mahākāya sūryakoṭi samaprabha, nirvighnaṁ kuru me deva sarvakāryeṣu sarvadā.
