About
Gujarati families keep a lively ritual calendar, from nine nights of Navratri to Chopda Pujan on Diwali, when many business families worship their new account books. Mantras are chanted in Sanskrit, and families often like the Maharaj to explain in Gujarati or Hindi.
Whether you are planning a Satyanarayan Katha, a Vastu Pujan for a new home or a Janoi ceremony, we connect you with a Pandit familiar with the Gujarati vidhi who can follow your family's customs.

Satyanarayan Katha is one of the most common pujas in Gujarati homes, often held on Purnima, after a wedding or on moving into a new home. The katha is read with the family seated together, followed by aarti and prasad such as sheero.
Diwali has a special place. On the day of Lakshmi Pujan, many business families perform Chopda Pujan, worshipping new account books with kumkum, writing auspicious symbols such as the swastik and 'Shubh Labh', and seeking Lakshmi's blessings for the year ahead.
Navratri is celebrated with garba and the worship of Mataji, and many families install a garbo, a lamp inside a pot, at home. Customs for Janoi, Lagna and Shraddh differ between communities, so share your family's practices with the Pandit when you book.
