5 bookable pujas at Somnath Temple, Somnath. Every booking ships with video proof of the ceremony.
Deity: Lord Shiva
Rudrabhishek is the ceremonial bathing of a Shiva linga performed while reciting the Shri Rudram and Chamakam hymns from the Krishna Yajurveda (Taittiriya Samhita 4.5 and 4.7). Composed of 11 anuvakas, the Shri Rudram invokes Rudra as Shiva — the auspicious one — and is traditionally chanted with Sanskrit svaras as the linga is bathed in eight liquids known together as Panchamrit Abhishek: Gangajal (Ganga water), milk, curd, ghee, honey, sugar-water, coconut water, and finally pure water. Devotees offer Bel patra (Aegle marmelos leaves) and Dhatura flowers — items considered most dear to Shiva according to the Shiva Purana, Vidyeshwara Samhita. Performed primarily on Mondays, Pradosham (13th tithi of every paksha), Maha Shivaratri, and during Shravan month, Rudrabhishek is undertaken to seek protection, dissolve negative karma, ease Mangal/Shani planetary afflictions in the natal chart, and cultivate inner steadiness. Our priests perform it traditionally from the Kashi Vishwanath sanctum tradition. The booking includes complete samagri, sankalp (intention-setting in your name and gotra), live abhishek with Sanskrit chanting, aarti, and a tamper-proof video of the entire ritual.
Deity: Lord Shiva (Tryambaka)
The Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra — "Om Tryambakam Yajamahe Sugandhim Pushtivardhanam, Urvarukamiva Bandhanan Mrityor Mukshiya Mamritat" — is one of the oldest and most sacred mantras in Hinduism, occurring in the Rigveda (7.59.12), Yajurveda (3.60), and Atharvaveda (14.1.17). Attributed to Sage Markandeya and Rishi Vasishtha, it addresses Tryambaka — the three-eyed Rudra/Shiva — invoking liberation from the bondage of mrityu (mortality, illness, accident) just as a ripe cucumber is freed from its vine. A complete anushthan involves 1,25,000 (sava lakh) repetitions, traditionally performed over multiple days; our 3-hour booking covers a structured 11,000 jaap (one round) which is the prescribed sankhya for ailment-relief, recovery from prolonged illness, removal of premature-death yogas in the natal chart (especially Markesh dasha), and protection from chronic Saturn-Rahu afflictions. Recitation is done with a Rudraksha mala, with sankalp in the patient/devotee's name, gotra, nakshatra, and rashi, followed by Havan with til (sesame), bilva, and ghee, concluding with aarti and prasad distribution. Full HD video proof is provided.
Deity: Navagraha (Nine Planets)
Navgraha Shanti Puja is the comprehensive ritual to pacify the nine planetary deities — Surya (Sun), Chandra (Moon), Mangal (Mars), Budh (Mercury), Brihaspati (Jupiter), Shukra (Venus), Shani (Saturn), Rahu (north node), and Ketu (south node) — described in the Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra and Yajnavalkya Smriti. Each graha is invoked into its prescribed metal-yantra, dressed in its prescribed colour, fed its prescribed grain, and pacified with its prescribed beej mantra (108 times each, totalling 972 chants), wood-samidha for havan, and dakshina. This puja is recommended after a Vedic kundli analysis reveals dosha (Mangal/Shani/Kaal Sarp/Sade Sati), or as preventive shanti during sub-period (antardasha) transitions. Performed across 2 hours, it includes Sankalp in the devotee's name, gotra, nakshatra, and rashi; recitation of Navgraha Stotram (Vyasa); 108 beej-mantra chants per planet; havan with the nine prescribed samidhas; and concluding aarti. The booking includes full materials, certified Vedic priest, Navgraha yantra (which the devotee may install at home), and HD video. Best results when performed during Sankashti, Purnima, or one's own birth nakshatra.
Deity: Pitru Devata (Ancestors)
Pitru Dosh Nivaran Puja relieves the karmic affliction (dosha) caused by unfulfilled obligations to departed ancestors — known as Pitru Rin (ancestral debt) and detailed in the Garuda Purana, Pretakanda. Astrologically, Pitru Dosh manifests when Surya (representing the father), the 9th house, or Rahu/Ketu in the natal chart fall under specific affliction patterns; symptomatically, it can present as repeated obstacles in marriage, childbirth difficulties, recurring family quarrels, ancestral property disputes, and unexplained career setbacks. The remedy combines Tarpan (water-libation with black sesame, barley, and kusha grass), Pinda Daan (offering of cooked-rice balls), Tripindi Shraddh (for three generations of forgotten ancestors), Brahmin bhojan, and havan with Pitru Sukta from the Rigveda Mandala 10.15. Traditionally performed at recognised tirthas — Gaya (the supreme tirtha for shraddh as per Vayu Purana), Trimbakeshwar, Pushkar, or the Ganga ghats of Varanasi — and timed to Pitru Paksha (15-day Krishna Paksha of Bhadrapada), the deceased's death-tithi, Mahalaya Amavasya, or solar/lunar eclipses. Our booking is performed at Gaya by qualified Gayawal pandas, covers full Tripindi Shraddh, Pinda Daan, brahmin bhojan, and HD video proof.
Deity: Lord Hanuman
Sunderkand is the fifth and most beloved kanda (book) of Goswami Tulsidas's Ramcharitmanas (composed 1574 CE in Awadhi), narrating Hanuman's heroic journey across the ocean to Lanka, his discovery of Sita in the Ashok Vatika, the burning of Lanka, and his return to Lord Rama. Of the seven kandas, Sunderkand is the only one named for its inherent beauty (sundara) rather than for plot or place — and it is the only kanda traditionally read independently for results. Comprising 60 dohas, 504 chaupais, and 5 chhands, a complete recitation takes approximately 2.5 hours when chanted with proper laya and bhava. Tulsidas himself promised that those who recite Sunderkand "with love" gain courage in adversity, removal of fear, success in pending matters, deliverance from Sade Sati and Shani Dhaiya, marital harmony, and freedom from black-magic afflictions — for Hanuman is the kalyug-jagrut deity and Sunderkand is his charit. Traditionally performed on Tuesdays, Saturdays, on Hanuman Jayanti, and during the 41-day Mangalwar anushthan. The booking covers complete recitation, Hanuman aarti, prasad, and HD video.
