    Overview

    Navratri Puja for families in Shivpur

    Navratri Puja is the nine-night worship of the Divine Mother, observed twice a year in most households: Chaitra Navratri in spring and Sharad Navratri in autumn. Each day is dedicated to one of the Navadurga, the nine forms of Durga, from Shailputri on the first day to Siddhidatri on the ninth.

    Shivpur is on the western side of Varanasi, beyond the busier central areas. Once more semi-rural, it has grown into a residential area with new colonies, independent houses, apartment buildings, schools and markets.

    या देवी सर्वभूतेषु शक्तिरूपेण संस्थिता।

    नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमो नमः॥

    Yā devī sarvabhūteṣu śaktirūpeṇa saṁsthitā, namastasyai namastasyai namastasyai namo namaḥ.

    To the Goddess who dwells in all beings in the form of power, salutations to her, again and again.Devi Mahatmyam (Durga Saptashati)

    Planning your puja in Shivpur

    Allow extra travel time if the Pandit is coming from central Varanasi.
    Share your exact location pin, as newer colonies can be hard to navigate.
    Courtyards and terraces in independent houses suit a larger havan.
    For Vahan puja, park the vehicle in an open space with room around it.
    Tell us whether you want only ghatasthapana, daily path, or the full nine days.
    Keep barley seeds, a clay pot, kalash, red chunri and akhand jyoti ready, or ask for samagri.
