Sandhi Puja
Traditionally performed at the exact junction of Ashtami and Navami — a roughly 48-minute window — marking the moment tradition holds Durga became Chamunda to slay Chanda and Munda.
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 Sandhi Puja booked, and what does it cost?
On House of Purohit, a verified Purohit performs Sandhi Puja at your home in Bengaluru, and the ceremony takes about 48m. 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 (Pan Hindu). Families unsure whether this is the right ceremony can talk to a Pandit free before booking.
