Overview
Vastu Shanti Puja for families in Sarnath
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.
Sarnath, a few kilometres north-east of central Varanasi, is revered around the world as the place where the Buddha gave his first sermon after enlightenment. Its stupas, monasteries and museum draw pilgrims and visitors from many countries throughout the year.
