Diwali Office Opening Puja
A shubh aarambh for your new workspace - Ganesh ji invoked, Lakshmi ji sthapana done, the office blessed before the first day of business.
Overview
What Is This Puja?
Many Indian businesses time the move into a new office so that the first working day falls in the days around Diwali, when the whole country is worshipping Lakshmi and the trader’s new year begins. The Diwali Office Opening Puja makes that first day a proper beginning.
The puja consecrates your new office as a place of dharmic work. A Pandit of the Narwar Dham parampara, booked through SiddhiStar, performs it at the office itself. He invokes Ganesh ji to remove obstacles from the new venture, Lakshmi ji for prosperity, and Saraswati ji for clarity of thought, and welcomes Vastu Devta into the workspace. The Diwali season adds Kubera pujan, the blessing of the office’s first register and its seal, Deepdaan across the workspace, and a muhurat chosen from the most auspicious days of the festive window. The puja ends with the establishment of a pooja ka sthan, so the office has a permanent place where each working day can begin with a lit diya.
SiddhiStar Note
“In household tradition, a place of work is not different in kind from a place of home. During Diwali, both, require the divine lakshmi worship. Office Opening Puja is that moment of inviting - a shubh aarambh for the family's enterprise.”
●Before a new office or commercial premises begins operations
●When shifting an existing business to a new office space
●Re-opening an office after major renovation or structural changes
●Families who began operations without puja and wish to perform it within the first quarter
●Inherited or acquired commercial property with prior occupants
●Re-establishing operations at an office after long closure of three months or more

SiddhiStar Samagri Policy
The SiddhiStar Anushthan Samagri required for the puja is included in the puja price. The family may choose to receive the samagri at home before the puja date, or arrange the required items themselves from a local kirana store or home delivery app. Either option is honoured equally. The Anushthan Samagri is provided for convenience and standardisation, and is not a separate charge or a ritual necessity.
Hawan Samagri is separate from the Anushthan Samagri and is available as an optional add-on at an additional charge. If the family opts for a Hawan as part of the puja, the applicable Hawan Samagri will be included and charged separately.
