Ganesh Puja

01 · The ritual

About the Ganesh Puja

The simplest and most loved puja — an offering to Ganesha before any new start, or simply for daily good luck.

In a puja, the deity is lovingly welcomed and honoured with flowers, lamp, incense, food and prayer — the way you would welcome a most beloved guest into your home.

02 · The deity

Why it is offered to Lord Ganesha

Ganesha is the remover of obstacles and the lord of beginnings. A simple Ganesh puja is the most common way to start anything new with a blessing.

03 · Blessings

The blessings devotees seek

Families have turned to the Ganesh Puja for generations. These are the blessings traditionally sought from it:

1. Clears obstacles.
2. Good luck.
3. Confidence before beginnings.
4. Daily positivity.

A ritual is an act of faith, hope and gratitude. We describe blessings the way tradition describes them; Aum Fe never promises a particular outcome.

04 · For you?

Who it is for

A private puja is booked for one family. You can book it for yourself, or for someone you love, wherever they live.

05 · Timing

The best time for it

Wednesdays, Chaturthi, mornings.

06 · At the altar

Performed at a Himalayan temple

Your puja is performed at a peaceful Himalayan temple by its own pujari, a priest with years of experience, at a properly prepared altar — with the correct mantras, the correct sequence and full devotion. Our crew travels there to film it for you. Never rushed, never cut short.

When you join, you also support these mountain pujaris, their families and their villages through the hard Himalayan winters — so the sacred traditions they have spent years learning are kept alive.

07 · Value

Everything is arranged for you

No pandit to find, no samagri to buy, no place to prepare. Our temple priests arrange the altar and the offerings, and we send you the video. You simply pray and receive the blessing.

08 · From anywhere

Taking part from home

Distance is no barrier to devotion. Wherever you are — in India or abroad — you can be part of the puja.

1. Book the puja for your family.
2. At the scheduled time, light a lamp at home if you wish and pray quietly with your family.
3. When it finishes, we email you the video of the puja.
4. Sit facing the screen, listen to the mantras with a calm, open heart, and chant along if you know them.
5. Fold your hands for the aarti at the end and receive the blessing.

09 · Prasad

Prasad by courier

After the puja, blessed prasad and sacred items — such as a sacred thread, kumkum or vibhuti, where the ritual uses them — are packed with care and sent by courier. We deliver across India, and internationally too, so families living abroad can receive the blessing at home.

10 · Good to know

Before you join

Many families avoid new rituals during a period of mourning (sutak) in the family, and during solar or lunar eclipse hours. Some traditions also avoid new-beginning rituals during Pitru Paksha and Kharmas. If you are unsure, ask us — we will help you choose a good date.
