Overview
Vastu Shanti Puja for families in Rathyatra
Vastu Shanti Puja honours Vastu Purusha, the deity believed in tradition to preside over every plot of land and building, along with the devatas of the directions. It is commonly performed alongside Griha Pravesh, after renovation or structural changes, or when a family feels the home would benefit from a formal ritual of peace.
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.

Planning your puja in Rathyatra
The crossing is congested for much of the day; early-morning slots are easiest.
During the Rath Yatra fair, expect road diversions and heavy crowds nearby.

Parking can be limited near the crossing; arrange a drop-off point for the Pandit.
Complete major construction work before the puja, if possible.
