    Overview

    Jitiya Vrat Puja (Jivitputrika) for families in Sarnath

    Jitiya, or Jivitputrika Vrat, is one of the most important vrats for mothers in Bihar, Jharkhand, eastern Uttar Pradesh and among Bhojpuri and Maithil families living in Delhi NCR, Pune, Hyderabad and beyond. It is kept over three days in the dark fortnight of Ashwin, around Pitru Paksha.

    Sarnath, a few kilometres north-east of central Varanasi, is revered around the world as the place where the Buddha gave his first sermon after enlightenment. Its stupas, monasteries and museum draw pilgrims and visitors from many countries throughout the year.

    Planning Your Puja in Sarnath

    Rituals are arranged at homes and hotels, not at the Buddhist heritage sites.
    Allow extra travel time if you plan to reach the ghats in Varanasi for a sunrise ritual.
    Newer houses in the area often have terraces or open space suitable for a small havan.
    Hotels here may host international guests; confirm the property allows a puja before planning.
