🏡 Vaastu Pooja — वास्तु पुरुष की शांति एवं गृह ऊर्जा का संतुलन

Vastu Shastra — the ancient Indian science of architecture — teaches the art of balancing energies between a home, its land, and the people who live within it. Vastu Purusha is the divine being who resides in every building and plot of land; when he is pleased and at peace, the home becomes a vessel of sukh, samriddhi, swasthya and parivarik sauhard. According to the Puranas, 45 devas reside within the Vastu Purusha Mandal — Brahma at the Brahma Sthana (center), Shiva at the Ishan (NE) corner, Kubera in the North (wealth) and Indra in the East (energy and leadership). The Vastu Pooja worships all nine directions and their presiding deities, performs Shodashopachara Pooja of Vastu Purusha, Vishwakarma Pujan, Navgraha Shanti, a sacred Vastu Hom, and closes with a Griha Pradakshina and Navdhanya Daan in all nine directions — calling abundance and divine protection into every corner of the home.

📿 Step-by-Step Vidhi

Step 1 of 13
Griha Shuddhi

Purify every room, corner and doorway with Gangajal and tulsi patte — removing all negative energies before the pooja begins.

ॐ अपवित्रः पवित्रो वा सर्वावस्थां गतोऽपि वा। यः स्मरेत् पुण्डरीकाक्षं स बाह्याभ्यन्तरः शुचिः॥
Step 2 of 13
Ganesh Pujan

Invoke Vighnaharta Ganesha to bless the ceremony and clear all obstacles before Vastu Purusha is worshipped.

ॐ गं गणपतये नमः॥ · वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ। निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा॥
Step 3 of 13
Vishwakarma Pujan

Offer prayers to Vishwakarma — the divine architect and patron deity of the home's construction and structure.

ॐ विश्वकर्मणे नमः॥ · विश्वस्य कर्ता विश्वस्य हर्ता विश्वस्य पाता विश्वकर्मा जयति॥
Step 4 of 13
Kalash Sthapana

9 kalash are established in the 9 directions of the home; the main kalash receives Varuna Deva's invocation for prosperity.

ॐ वरुणाय नमः॥ · ॐ कलशस्य मुखे विष्णुः कण्ठे रुद्रः समाश्रितः। मूले तस्य स्थितो ब्रह्मा मध्ये मातृगणः स्मृताः॥
Step 5 of 13
Sankalp

Yajman holds jal and pushp and takes the solemn sankalp for Vastu Shanti — stating name, gotra and purpose of the pooja.

ॐ विष्णुर्विष्णुर्विष्णुः॥ · ममोपात्त समस्त दुरितक्षयद्वारा श्री परमेश्वर प्रीत्यर्थं वास्तु शान्ति पूजनम् अहं करिष्ये॥
Step 6 of 13
Panchadeva Pujan

Worship of the five principal deities — Ganesha, Vishnu, Shiva, Durga and Surya — for complete divine protection of the home.

ॐ गं॥ · ॐ नमो नारायणाय॥ · ॐ नमः शिवाय॥ · ॐ दुं दुर्गायै नमः॥ · ॐ सूर्याय नमः॥
Step 7 of 13
Navgraha Pujan

Invocation and peace-offering to all nine planetary energies to ensure no graha dosha afflicts the home or its inhabitants.

ॐ सूर्याय नमः॥ · ॐ चन्द्राय नमः॥ · ॐ बुधाय नमः॥
Step 8 of 13
Vastu Mandal Pujan

Facing each of the 9 directions, the priest invokes the disha-devata — Indra, Agni, Yama, Nirrti, Varuna, Vayu, Kubera, Ishana and Brahma at the center.

ॐ इन्द्राय नमः॥ · ॐ अग्नये नमः॥ · ॐ कुबेराय नमः॥
Step 9 of 13
Vastu Purusha Shodashopachara

Complete 16-upachar worship of Vastu Purusha — the divine guardian of every home — with panchamrit, pushp, dhoop, deep and naivedya.

ॐ वास्तोष्पते प्रतिजानीह्यस्मान् स्वावेशो अनमीवो भवा नः। यत्त्वेमहे प्रति तन्नो जुषस्व शं नो भव द्विपदे शं चतुष्पदे॥ · ॐ वास्तुपुरुषाय नमः॥
Step 10 of 13
Hom / Havan

Vastu Hom with nav-samidhaa in the sacred fire — the family makes ahutis at each Svaha, sealing divine blessings into the home.

ॐ नमो भगवते वास्तुपुरुषाय गृहं रक्ष रक्ष स्वाहा॥
Step 11 of 13
Griha Pradakshina

The entire family performs 3 pradakshinas of the home — entering each room and offering namaskar to its direction's guardian deity.

यानि कानि च पापानि जन्मान्तरकृतानि च। तानि तानि प्रणश्यन्ति प्रदक्षिणे पदे पदे॥
Step 12 of 13
Aarti

Vastu Purusha aarti — the whole family gathers with the aarti thaal to offer light, singing Jai Jai Vastu Deva in gratitude.

जय जय वास्तु देवा॥ · गणेश विश्वकर्मा भवन के देवा॥
Step 13 of 13
Navdhanya Daan

Nine grains are scattered across all 9 directions of the home — an ancient Vedic ritual calling abundance and samriddhi into every corner.

ॐ श्री लक्ष्म्यै नमः॥ · सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः सर्वे सन्तु निरामयाः॥
