In Hinduism, Pinda Daan is a ritual offered to pay respect and offer prayers to departed ancestors. In this way, you seek their blessings, and they receive spiritual well-being as this powerful ritual eases their journey towards final salvation- Moksha. Honoring one’s ancestors is of utmost importance for one’s own spiritual well-being, blessings, and protection on earth, and for the departed loved one’s final liberation. In this way, you break down the barriers to liberation for your ancestors so they may finally be free and at peace; no longer attached to the materialistic world.

This ritual is highly important for complete liberation of the departed soul. In this puja, the deceased person’s ashes are immersed in the holy Ganga. This ritual symbolizes the departed soul reaching Moksha. “Asthi” means remnants of bones after cremation, and “Visarajan” means immersion of them in holy Ganga.

Shraadh puja is a ritual performed to pay homage to one’s ancestors, especially to one’s dead parents. It is believed that performing Shraadh Puja calms the departed, as these specific prayers and mantras help their soul attain peace. This puja is performed for both the father and mother separately on their respective death anniversary or during the Pitru Paksha or Shraaddha paksha (fortnight of ancestors), right before Shraadh Navaratri in the fall.

Navgraha Puja is performed to reduced negative effects of nine grahas or planets. The word “Navgraha” is a combination of two words; Nav means Nine, and Grah means Planets. The nine planets influence various aspects of an individual’s life, including love/marriage, career/financial success, health, etc.

This type of puja is performed at the time of moving into a new home to promote peace, health, well-being, love, and happiness. ‘Vastu’ means the dwelling of humans and Gods. Vastu Shastra is an Ancient Vedic science which helps one derive the benefits that are freely offered to us by the 5 basic elements of the universe. This puja eliminates the ill effects and dosh from the house. It also increases the flow of positive energy.

Rudrabhishek Puja is an ancient Hindu ritual dedicated to Lord Shiva, the destroyer and transformer of the universe. Rudrabhishek Puja is a profound and spiritually enriching ritual that extends beyond the material realm. This powerful puja is hailed by all Vedic Scriptures as one of the greatest pujas to remove all evils in order to attain all desires and lead a happy, prosperous life.

This puja is done to pacify the Pitru dosh in one's horoscope. Unresolved issues of one’s ancestors may lead to Pitra Dosh in a person’s horoscope, creating obstacles and hindrances across various areas of life. Performing this ritual is believed to pacify their souls and rid negative influences.

Kaalsarpa dosh is said to happen when all the planets are gathered in between two planets: Rahu and Ketu. These two planets "Rahu" and "Ketu" are considered as the "Snake" and "Tail”. Rahu and Ketu weaken other planets and keep the person away good fortune and a happy life. Performing this puja is necessary to clear the negative effects of this heavy dosha so that one is able to lead a prosperous, happy, and positive life.
