Overview
Shiv Puja for families in Rathyatra
Shiv Puja is the traditional worship of Lord Shiva in a simpler, accessible form. It usually includes Ganesh puja, jal or milk abhishek of the Shivling, offering of bel patra, dhatura and white flowers, chanting of Om Namah Shivaya and Shiva stotras, and aarti. It can be performed with or without Mata Parvati and the Shiva parivar.
Rathyatra is one of the best-known crossings in central Varanasi, linking Sigra, Mahmoorganj and the roads towards the south of the city. Its name comes from the traditional Rath Yatra fair of Lord Jagannath held in the area each year.
ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम्।
उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान्मृत्योर्मुक्षीय माऽमृतात्॥

Shiv Puja in Rathyatra: FAQs
If yours is not here, ask it. A real person answers every message on WhatsApp.
Can a Pandit come to my home in Rathyatra for Shiv Puja?
Yes. Share your location in Rathyatra, your preferred date and your family's tradition on WhatsApp. We confirm a Pandit who can come to your home, apartment or venue in and around Rathyatra, Varanasi, along with timing and pricing before you book.
How far in advance should I book Shiv Puja in Rathyatra?
For popular muhurat dates and festival seasons, it helps to enquire a week or two ahead where possible. For other dates, shorter notice is often manageable, we confirm availability on WhatsApp.
How much does Shiv Puja cost in Varanasi?
The cost depends on the vidhi, the number of Pandits and travel within Varanasi. Samagri is not included in the dakshina; it is at an additional cost, agreed after discussion with Pandit ji. We share a clear quote on WhatsApp after understanding your requirements, before you confirm anything.
How is Shiv puja different from Rudrabhishek?
Shiv puja is a simpler worship with offerings and aarti. Rudrabhishek adds a continuous abhishek with Rudri path chanting and takes longer.
Can a Pandit do Sawan Somvar Shiv Puja at home?
Yes. Many families book a Pandit for each Monday of Sawan, or for the first and last Monday, with jal or milk abhishek, bel patra, Shiv Chalisa and aarti. Book early, as Sawan Mondays are among the busiest days of the year for Pandits.
Do you arrange the Solah Somvar vrat udyapan?
Yes. After the sixteen Mondays, the udyapan is done with Shiv Parvati puja, the vrat katha, havan and daan as your family's custom requires. The Pandit will guide you on the samagri and the day.
