Maha Mrityunjaya Jaap — Step by Step

An outline of how the ceremony is conducted. Your pandit may adapt the order to your family tradition and regional practice.

  1. Arrival, setup & sankalp

    The pandit arrives about 30 minutes early, sets up the chowki facing east and takes the sankalp in the name and gotra of the yajman family, stating the purpose of the Maha Mrityunjaya Jaap.

  2. Sankalp in your name & gotra

    Performed with the prescribed mantras and upacharas, with the pandit guiding the family through each action.

  3. Jaap by a team of pandits

    The pandit recites the prescribed texts with correct swara and pauses to explain their meaning so the whole family can follow along.

  4. Daily progress updates

    You receive regular updates from the pandits, and prasad can be sent to your address on request.

  5. Dashansh havan

    Agni is consecrated in the havan kund and the family offers ghee and samagri with every mantra ending in “swaha”, concluding with the purnahuti.

  6. Prasad dispatch (optional)

    Aarti is performed with lamps and camphor, bhog is offered to the deity, and prasad is shared with family and guests.

  7. Kshama prarthana & ashirvad

    The ceremony closes with a prayer seeking forgiveness for any unintentional error, followed by blessings for the family and guidance on what to do after the puja.
