Durgakund · Varanasi
A traditional puja to inaugurate a new shop, office, showroom or factory, Ganesh and Lakshmi worship, Kalash sthapana and havan at an auspicious muhurat. Book an experienced Pandit for your home or venue in Durgakund, Varanasi.
Overview
Opening a new shop, office or business premises is traditionally marked with a puja before the first customer is welcomed. The ritual centres on Lord Ganesha, remover of obstacles, and Goddess Lakshmi, associated with prosperity, often along with Kalash sthapana, Navagraha worship and a short havan.
Durgakund takes its name from the historic Durga temple and the large water tank, or kund, beside it. The area sits in south Varanasi between Bhelupur and Lanka, along the road that leads towards the Sankat Mochan Hanuman temple, and it has long been one of the most devotional parts of Kashi.

The cost depends on the vidhi, the number of Pandits, samagri and travel within Varanasi. We share a clear quote on WhatsApp after understanding your requirements, before you confirm anything.

It depends on the vidhi, whether a havan or Satyanarayan Katha is included, the number of Pandits, samagri and location. Share your details on WhatsApp for a quote.
