Overview
Office & Shop Opening Puja for families in Ramnagar
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.
Ramnagar lies on the eastern bank of the Ganga, across the river from the main city of Varanasi. It is best known for Ramnagar Fort, the historic residence of the former rulers of Banaras, and for its long-running traditional Ramlila held around Dussehra.
वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ।
निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा॥
Vakratuṇḍa mahākāya sūryakoṭi samaprabha, nirvighnaṁ kuru me deva sarvakāryeṣu sarvadā.
Planning your puja in Ramnagar
Ramnagar is reached by road across the river; allow extra travel time from the ghats and central Varanasi.
Share your exact location in advance, as Pandits may be travelling from the city side.
Traffic can build up during the Ramlila and Dussehra period.
Independent houses and courtyards make larger havans and family gatherings easier.
For rituals that need the Ganga, the Pandit can advise whether to go to a ghat on the city side.
Fix the muhurat first, then plan the shutter opening and first sale around it.
Keep the account book, cash box or billing counter ready for the Lakshmi puja, as many traders do.
