Shri Ram Puja in Varanasi
Varanasi is the city where Goswami Tulsidas is traditionally said to have written the Ramcharitmanas, and Ram bhakti runs through its temples, bhajans and the famous Ramlila of Ramnagar.
A Pandit can perform Shri Ram Puja for your family with worship of the Ram Darbar, Ram Raksha Stotra or selected chaupais from the Manas, and aarti, at your home or hotel.
वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ।
निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा॥
Vakratuṇḍa mahākāya sūryakoṭi samaprabha, nirvighnaṁ kuru me deva sarvakāryeṣu sarvadā.
Why Varanasi
Why families choose Varanasi for Shri Ram Puja
Families who love the Ramayana often choose Kashi for a Ram Puja on Ram Navami or at a new beginning, feeling close to the place where the Manas took shape.
The city's tradition of Manas singing means the puja can include chaupais sung in the familiar style, which many elders especially enjoy.
