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?
Office Opening Puja is the Vedic rite performed before a new commercial workspace begins operations. The ritual consecrates the office as a place of dharmic work - Ganesh ji is invoked to remove obstacles from the new venture, Lakshmi ji is invoked for prosperity, Saraswati ji is invoked for clarity of thought, and Vastu Devta is welcomed into the workspace.
The ritual moves through purification, sankalp, invocation of the primary deities, the central pujan of Vastu Devta, and the establishment of the pooja ka sthan within the office. At SiddhiStar, the puja is performed at your office itself by a pandit trained in the Narwar Dham parampara. Your gotra and Kul Devata are recorded at booking. The base puja takes approximately two hours, with Hawan offered as an optional 30-minute add-on where the office's fire safety arrangements permit.
SiddhiStar Note
“In household tradition, a place of work is not different in kind from a place of home. Both require devata worship, the consecration of the threshold, and the invocation of the family's kul devata. Office Opening Puja is that moment of inviting - a shubh aarambh for the family's enterprise.”

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.
