Puja, Karmkand & Jyotish — Rooted in Shastra

Samskaras & Family Ceremonies conducted by Acharya Mahipati Joshi

Samskaras & Family Ceremonies

The life-stage rites that mark a child’s growth and a family’s dharmic milestones — from before birth through to the completion of formal study.

When
Fixed from family tradition together with the child’s nakshatra and tithi; the muhurta is selected once your details are received.
Typical duration
Most single samskaras run 1½–3 hours. Upanayan and Vivah are longer and are planned across sessions.
Marriage & Couple Rituals conducted by Acharya Mahipati Joshi

Marriage & Couple Rituals

Wedding and couple rites — from the first family commitment, through the marriage vows, to the observances that follow in married life.

When
A vivah muhurta is drawn from both horoscopes and the wedding calendar; pre-wedding rites are then scheduled backwards from that date.
Typical duration
Pre-wedding rites run 1–2 hours. The full Vivah Sanskar typically runs 3–5 hours depending on the customs observed.
Home, Vastu, Property & New Beginnings conducted by Acharya Mahipati Joshi

Home, Vastu, Property & New Beginnings

Rites for land, buildings, homes, workplaces and vehicles — performed at the threshold of a new beginning rather than after one.

When
Bhoomi Pujan and Griha Pravesh follow a muhurta chosen for the site and the family; commercial openings are matched to the business calendar.
Typical duration
Typically 2–3 hours. A Griha Pravesh with full Vastu Shanti and Navagraha havan can run 4–5 hours.
Graha Shanti & Dosha Nivaran conducted by Acharya Mahipati Joshi

Graha Shanti & Dosha Nivaran

Planetary worship and traditional remedial rites — offered only where a chart reading actually indicates one, never from a generic checklist.

When
Timed to the graha’s own weekday and hora and, where relevant, to the running dasha or transit — fixed after the chart is reviewed.
Typical duration
A single graha shanti runs 2–3 hours. Navagraha Shanti and the larger dosha nivaran rites run 3–5 hours.
Abhishek & Deity Pujas conducted by Acharya Mahipati Joshi

Abhishek & Deity Pujas

Deity worship and abhishek in the classical order — the pujas around which regular household devotion is built.

When
Performed on the deity’s own weekday, tithi or festival, or on any day the family chooses for a sankalpa.
Typical duration
A standard puja or abhishek runs 1½–3 hours. Maha Rudrabhishek and Laghu Rudra are longer, multi-session anushthans.
Havan, Yagya & Major Anushthan conducted by Acharya Mahipati Joshi

Havan, Yagya & Major Anushthan

Fire rituals and major anushthans — from a simple household havan to multi-day yagyas that need advance planning and a team of pandits.

When
A havan may accompany any occasion; large anushthans are scheduled well in advance, often around Navratri, Shravan or a family sankalpa.
Typical duration
A general havan runs 2–3 hours. Chandi Havan and Durga Saptashati Havan run a full day; Shat Chandi runs across several days.
Paath, Mantra Jaap & Stotra Anushthan conducted by Acharya Mahipati Joshi

Paath, Mantra Jaap & Stotra Anushthan

Recitation, mantra jaap and stotra anushthan — sustained practice measured in counts and closed with a havan where the tradition prescribes one.

When
Jaap counts begin on a day suited to the mantra and are completed within the sankalpa period; a paath may be held on any chosen occasion.
Typical duration
A Sundarkand or Vishnu Sahasranama paath runs 2–3 hours. Akhand Ramayan runs continuously for about 24 hours; jaap anushthans run across days.
Pitru Karma & Ancestral Rites conducted by Acharya Mahipati Joshi

Pitru Karma & Ancestral Rites

Ancestral rites performed with reverence and correct procedure — guided with sensitivity to family custom, regional tradition and eligibility.

When
On the prescribed tithi, during Pitru Paksha, on Amavasya, or at the appointed time after a bereavement.
Typical duration
Tarpan runs about an hour. Shraddha karma runs 2–4 hours; Narayan Bali and Tripindi are longer and often site-specific.
Festival & Vrat Pujas conducted by Acharya Mahipati Joshi

Festival & Vrat Pujas

Festival and vrat pujas performed in their proper season — worth booking ahead, since these dates fill quickly across the year.

When
Fixed by the festival tithi in the Panchang; sthapana and visarjan timings are shared with you in advance.
Typical duration
Most festival pujas run 2–3 hours. Navratri and Janmashtami observances extend across the festival period.
Special Archana & Seva conducted by Acharya Mahipati Joshi

Special Archana & Seva

Special archana and continuing seva — offerings made on your behalf, in your name and gotra, for a period you choose.

When
Begun on a day suited to the deity and the sankalpa, and continued for the period the seva is taken for.
Typical duration
An archana runs 1–2 hours. Akhand Jyoti and Deep Seva are maintained continuously for the period of the sankalpa.
