Home Puja, Live Video Puja or Temple Puja: Which Should You Choose?

Comparing the three ways to book a puja — a pandit at home, a live video puja with the family anywhere, or a puja at a temple in your name.

Families today often live across cities and countries. Rutviju offers three ways to perform a puja — here is how to choose.

1. A pandit at your home

Best for: Griha Pravesh, Bhoomi Puja, Vastu Shanti, vehicle puja, homams and samskaras like Annaprashana — anything that needs the pandit on site.

  • The pandit arrives with the samagri, sets up the puja and guides the family through every step.
  • Pandits come from within their travel distance of your address.

2. A live video puja

Best for: Satyanarayana puja, Rudrabhishekam, Lakshmi puja and other pujas the family can do together, especially when relatives are in different places.

  • The pandit performs and guides the puja on a video call; the family follows at home.
  • There is no distance limit — choose a pandit by the language you want.
  • Keep the samagri list ready beforehand; the pandit will share it.

3. A puja at a temple in your name

Best for: pujas tied to a sacred place — Jyotirlinga abhishekams, tarpan at tirthas, special sevas.

  • The temple’s pandit takes the sankalpa with your names and performs the puja.
  • You receive photos and video, and prasad if you choose.
