Office / Shop Opening Pooja
Vastu shanti and Lakshmi-Kubera pooja for a new office, shop or factory. Includes Ganapati pooja, Vastu purusha prayers, kalasha sthapana and the ceremonial first transaction.
Performed at a beginning — a new office, a new venture, a new year of trade — so the work starts with intention.
The sequence differs by region and by family tradition — yours will be confirmed before the day. We describe what families usually observe; we never promise outcomes.
How is Office / Shop Opening Pooja booked, and what does it cost?
On House of Purohit, a verified Purohit performs Office / Shop Opening Pooja at your home in Bengaluru starting from ₹4,500, and the ceremony takes about 2h. Every price is shown before payment, the samagri (ritual items) list is provided in advance, and the Purohit is matched to your language and family tradition (Smartha, Vaishnava, Madhwa, North Indian).

- What samagri is needed for Office / Shop Opening Pooja, and who brings it?
- At home, the family usually arranges a few things — deep clean the premises; arrange the ribbon and scissors for inauguration; new account book or ledger for the first entry, and the rest of the list on this page. The ritual items themselves come in a samagri kit with the Standard and Elaborate packages; otherwise your Purohit sends the list ahead of the day.
- Can Office / Shop Opening Pooja be done in a flat?
- Yes — most ceremonies we arrange are in apartments. Tell us if the space is small, or if there are smoke alarms; where a fire ritual is part of it, your Purohit plans for the room you have.
- What if the muhurat falls in Rahu kalam?
- When you choose a date, each time window shows its muhurat and whether it overlaps Rahu kalam. Families usually avoid it where the day allows; if it cannot be avoided, your Purohit will say what your tradition does.
- Who takes part in Office / Shop Opening Pooja?
- A verified Purohit conducts it; the person or couple the ceremony is for sits for the sankalpa, and family may join. Nothing else is needed from you but the name said aloud at the start — and a gotra, if your family knows it.
