Naga Pratishtha
The consecration and installation of a carved naga stone or metal image, traditionally undertaken for family welfare and continuity of the lineage.
A family crosses this threshold once. This is how it is crossed with intention rather than in a hurry.
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 Naga Pratishtha booked, and what does it cost?
On House of Purohit, a verified Purohit performs Naga Pratishtha at your home in Bengaluru, and the ceremony takes about 4h. 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, Madhwa, Tulu). Families unsure whether this is the right ceremony can talk to a Pandit free before booking.
