Vastu Puja : An Indian traditional Ceremony, where a family invokes the blessings of the Gods before entering a new home. The Gods are expected to keep the home environment and the family relations peaceful, joyous and healthy.
My uncle moved into his new house a few months ago. Personally, this was one of the very rare Vastu pujas I have been to which are so full of colour, warmth and spirituality. A perfect combination for quaint Indian aesthetics.
Samagri [ingredients] for the ritual.
Invoking lord Ganesha, while chanting the Ganapati Atharvasheersham.
Peparing for the final act, the Aarti.
Naivedya [Feast offered to the Gods after Aarti.]
