What is Office & Shop Opening Pooja?
The pooja sanctifies the premises, the cash counter, computers, machines and account books, and asks for smooth operations and growth. The opening is timed to a muhurtham, and the first sale (bohni) follows soon after.
Businesses also repeat a Lakshmi pooja every year at Diwali or on the founding day.
