Vastu Shanti Pooja – Cost, Vidhi & Pandit Booking

What is Vastu Shanti Pooja?

Vastu Shastra describes the plot as the body of the Vastu Purusha, with a deity presiding over each part of the Vastu Purusha mandala. The pooja worships these deities in a mandala drawn with coloured grains and offers a homam so the building supports the health and prosperity of the people who live or work in it.

It is the central ritual of a griha pravesh, and is also performed on its own after extensions, major repairs or long vacancy.
