The rite
Surya Puja is complete worship of the Sun God with lamp, flowers, arghya, and stotra—simpler than a multi-hour Surya jaap but deeper than a one-minute morning water offering. Bengaluru households book Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma for Sunday puja, Makar Sankranti, or birthday blessings for vitality in the religious sense. The puja is done indoors or on a terrace with eastern orientation when possible. You can name everyone who should be included in sankalp when you book, and ask for a shorter or longer format if elders are frail or children need a break. Relatives abroad can join the final aarti on a video call if the family keeps the phone on silent during mantra.
Time at the house: 1.5–2.5 hours
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
Daily life rarely pauses for full aditya ritual; a yearly or milestone Surya puja renews the habit of greeting light with gratitude. Children learn the sequence of arghya and gayatri.
At home, the whole family can offer red flowers together. Pandit ji does not treat puja as treatment for illness or guarantee career wins. Makar Sankranti morning slots fill fast—message early in December for January dates.
Families usually block 1.5–2.5 hours for Surya Puja at home. A common reason to book is: Sunday morning puja Share gotra, names, and your Bengaluru area on WhatsApp so Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma can confirm samagri and travel before the day.
