Bhoomi Pooja Sankusthapana at Site

The rite

Bhoomi Pooja with Sankusthapana honours Mother Earth and Vastu Purusha before construction begins, placing the first symbolic peg or stone with mantra at the plot in Bengaluru or nearby sites within the visit area. Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma performs nagar circumbulation of the land corner, kalash burial at northeast if custom allows, and worship with turmeric, rice, and coconut breaking at the groundbreaking moment. Empty sites, villa plots, and renovation dig-starts qualify. Safety from open pits and builder coordination is the owner's duty. Bring gate passes and survey pins early so security delays do not eat the muhurat. Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma explains each step in plain language so guests who are new to the ritual can follow respectfully without feeling lost.

Time at the house: About 1.5 to 2.5 hours on site

Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma does this at the house in Bengaluru. The fee is not printed on this page. It is sent on WhatsApp with the material list.

Why families book it

Starting build with prayer aligns labour teams and family on respectful use of land. Sankusthapana literal meaning—establishing the peg—marks where the main structure will rise.

Puja does not replace soil testing, BBMP permits, or Vastu consultant reports. No guarantee against construction delay.
