What is Hayagriva Puja?

Worship of Lord Hayagriva, the form of Vishnu honoured as the lord of knowledge, traditionally offered for students before studies and examinations.

A Pandit can perform Hayagriva Puja for a student or the whole family, with Hayagriva stotra, archana and a sankalp for studies, at your home, hostel room or hotel.
