Shiv Shakti Puja — 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 Shiv Shakti Puja.

  2. Sankalp & Ganesh puja

    Lord Ganesha is invoked first so that the ceremony proceeds without obstacles, with offerings of durva, flowers, akshat and sweets.

  3. Shivling abhishek

    The deity is bathed with panchamrit, gangajal and other sacred offerings while Vedic mantras are chanted in rhythm.

  4. Devi shodashopachar puja

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

  5. Shiv–Shakti mantra jaap

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

  6. Havan & aarti

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

  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.
