Overview

Katyayani Puja for families in Sarnath

Goddess Katyayani is the sixth of the Navadurga, the nine forms of Durga worshipped during Navratri. She is described as a fierce yet compassionate form of the Goddess, and her worship has long been associated with prayers for a good life partner and a happy marriage.

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.
Share the name and gotra of the person for whom the puja is performed, and their date of birth if you have it.
Samagri is not included in the dakshina; it is at an additional cost, agreed after discussion with Pandit ji.
