Birthday Pooja
जन्मदिन पूजा
The rite
Birthday pooja is a home worship on one's janma tithi or Gregorian birthday, often with ayushya mantra, rudraksha touch, and family arati before cake. Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma tailors the sankalp to the person's age—children get shorter mantra, elders may include Mahamrityunjaya remembrance without promising added years. The rite stays modest and fits a Bengaluru apartment before guests arrive for dinner.
Time at the house: About 1 to 1.5 hours
Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma performs this as a home visit in Bengaluru. Share your area and preferred slot on WhatsApp; the samagri list is sent before the day. This page does not list fees or promise worldly results.
Why families book it
Parents book when they want spiritual framing separate from party balloons and loud music.
Working professionals request early-morning puja before office calls on their birthday.
When families ask
- On lunar janma tithi when elders follow the moon calendar
- On Gregorian birthday for school-friendly timing
- Milestone years—sixteen, sixty, or eighty—with longer sankalp if desired
- Before starting medical treatment as family support, not medical promise
- When a child should learn to offer flowers at their own small altar
- Joint birthday for twins with two names in one sankalp
Before the day
Keep the puja room free of wrapped gifts until after arati. Place a photo of the person if no murti is used. Prepare favourite satvik sweet for naivedya. Tell the pandit about nut allergies before choosing prasad.
