Ganga Puja for Bangalore Families
Ganga Puja in its full form is performed on the ghats of the Ganga, above all in Varanasi, with sankalp, offerings to the river, deep daan and aarti. Bangalore is far from the Ganga, so families here usually keep the worship in one of three ways, and it helps to be clear which one you want.

What is Ganga Puja?
Worship of Maa Ganga on the ghats of Varanasi, with sankalp, offerings, deep daan and aarti, traditionally performed on Ganga Dussehra and family occasions.
Some hold a Ganga Puja at home with a kalasha of Gangajal on Ganga Dussehra or a family occasion. Some take the river part to the Kaveri, the river of Karnataka. And some book the puja on the Varanasi ghats with a sankalp taken in their name while they join online.
वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ।
निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा॥
Vakratuṇḍa mahākāya sūryakoṭi samaprabha, nirvighnaṁ kuru me deva sarvakāryeṣu sarvadā.
Why Families Choose Bangalore for Ganga Puja
For Kannada families, the Kaveri holds much the place the Ganga holds in the north. Srirangapatna, with its Paschimavahini bathing ghat where the river turns west, is the closest river tirtha to Bangalore and is commonly visited for river rites, while Talakaveri in Kodagu, the river's source, draws devotees at Tula Sankramana in October.
North Indian, Bihari and Bengali families in the city often keep Gangajal at home and want to honour Maa Ganga on Ganga Dussehra or after a visit to Haridwar or Kashi. A home puja with a Pandit gives that worship its proper form.

Local Traditions & Timing
- Ganga Dussehra falls in Jyeshtha, usually in late May or June, just as the monsoon begins in Bangalore.
- Deep daan into a river is not possible in the city; at home, lamps are lit before the Gangajal kalasha instead.
- Srirangapatna is roughly a two to three hour drive depending on traffic, so a river visit is a day trip.
- Lakes and kalyanis in Bangalore are not used for Ganga Puja rites; please do not immerse offerings in them.
Where It's Performed & Planning Tips
Where it's performed
- Your home, with a kalasha of Gangajal
- The Kaveri at Srirangapatna, with a Pandit arranged by the family for the day
- The ghats of Varanasi, booked online, with your sankalp taken there
- A clubhouse for a community Ganga Dussehra gathering
Planning tips
- Decide whether you want a home puja, a Kaveri visit or an online Varanasi puja, and tell us which.
- Keep Gangajal, a copper or brass kalasha, flowers and lamps ready for a home puja.
- For an online Varanasi puja, share the names and gotras of the family members to be included.
- Check the date of Ganga Dussehra with the Pandit early, as it varies each year.
