What is Navratri Puja?
The nine-night worship of Goddess Durga in her nine forms, beginning with Ghatasthapana and concluding with Kanya Pujan and Navami havan.
Families in Kolkata book Navratri Puja for sharad navratri (ashwin shukla pratipada to navami), and we arrange a Pandit who knows the full vidhi.

Navratri Puja in Kolkata: FAQs
If yours is not here, ask it. A real person answers every message on WhatsApp.
How do I book a Pandit for Navratri Puja in Kolkata?
Tap Book on this page or message us on WhatsApp with the date, your address in Kolkata and your family tradition. We confirm a Pandit, the vidhi and the dakshina before you book. Samagri is not included in the dakshina; it is at an additional cost, agreed after discussion with Pandit ji. There is no payment to enquire.
What is the cost of Navratri Puja in Kolkata?
Navratri Puja in Kolkata starts from about ₹6,100 for one Pandit and around 1.5 to 2 hours for ghatasthapana; daily puja or path across nine days as agreed. The final dakshina depends on the number of Pandits, the chant count, and travel within Kolkata. Samagri is not included in the dakshina; it is at an additional cost, agreed after discussion with Pandit ji. We share an exact quote on WhatsApp.
Can I get a Hindi speaking Pandit for Navratri Puja in Kolkata?
Yes. Pandits in Kolkata speak Bengali, Hindi, Marwari and Bhojpuri. Tell us the language you want the puja explained in and whether you follow North Indian or local vidhi, and we match the Pandit.
Do you send Pandits to Burrabazar, Posta, Salt Lake and New Town?
Yes. Pandits come to homes across Kolkata, including Burrabazar, Posta, Salt Lake, New Town, Howrah and Ballygunge, and nearby towns on request. Share your address and we confirm travel.
Will the Pandit bring the samagri for Navratri Puja?
Samagri is not included in the dakshina. The Pandit sends the Navratri Puja samagri list in advance; you can buy it yourself, or Pandit ji can arrange it in Kolkata at an additional cost, agreed after discussion.
Can family members outside Kolkata join Navratri Puja?
Yes. We can stream the puja live on video, or arrange a fully online Navratri Puja with sankalp in your family's name.
When is the Ghatasthapana muhurat?
Ghatasthapana is done on Pratipada, the first day of Navratri, usually in the morning or during Abhijit muhurat. The Pandit checks the panchang for the exact time in your city, and avoids periods such as Chitra nakshatra and Vaidhriti yoga where the tradition advises it.
Can a Pandit do the Durga Saptashati path all nine days?
Yes. A Pandit can read the full Durga Saptashati each day, or a set portion daily so the text is completed over the nine days, at your home or online in your name. Tell us the format you want when you enquire.
Can you arrange a North Indian Pandit for Navratri in Delhi NCR, Hyderabad or Pune?
Yes. We arrange Hindi speaking Pandits for Ghatasthapana, daily path, Kanya Pujan and the Ashtami or Navami havan in the North Indian vidhi. For Dasara, Bathukamma or Golu customs, we arrange a local Purohit instead.
