Our pandits — Pandit Shashikant Gaud and Pandit Amitabh Mishra, both from Uttar Pradesh — serve Kharadi as a primary area. Pujas from ₹3,500. All samagri included. No hidden charges.

Kharadi — East Pune’s Walk-to-Work IT Hub

If Hinjewadi is Pune’s western IT corridor, Kharadi is its eastern counterpart — and in many ways, the more convenient one. Built around EON IT Park, World Trade Centre Pune, and Gera Commerzone, Kharadi has attracted thousands of IT professionals from across North India who chose this area specifically for the “walk to work” lifestyle. Companies like Credit Suisse, Barclays, Citicorp, Vodafone, Zensar, Cognizant, and Mphasis operate from Kharadi, and a significant percentage of their workforce comprises professionals from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Delhi-NCR, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Jharkhand.

The residential construction has matched the commercial growth. Societies like Forest County, Panchshil Towers, Gera World of Joy, Marvel Zephyr, Nyati Elysia, and Pristine O2 World are packed with North Indian families who bought their first flat within walking distance of their office.

And the moment these families need a pandit — for the Grihapravesh of the flat they just purchased, for a Satyanarayan Katha after a promotion at Barclays, or for a Namkaran when the first baby arrives — they run into the same problem every North Indian family in Pune faces. The search results show Marathi Guruji or generic “South Indian purohit” services, and the family ends up with a ceremony that does not follow their tradition.

Pitradev has dedicated North Indian pandits in Pune who specifically serve Kharadi and the surrounding East Pune corridor — familiar with the EON area societies, no travel surcharge, and the complete North Indian vidhi.

Our North Indian Pandits Serving Kharadi

Pandit Shashikant Gaud specialises in Vastu Shanti Puja, Grihapravesh, and Shradh ceremonies. Originally from Uttar Pradesh, he regularly serves families across Kharadi, Viman Nagar, and Kalyani Nagar. He is familiar with the major Kharadi societies — Forest County, Panchshil Towers, Gera World of Joy, and Marvel Zephyr — and knows the society layouts, parking access, and building management procedures. Having performed multiple ceremonies in the EON IT Park corridor, he understands the working professional’s schedule and can accommodate early morning or evening ceremonies when families cannot take a full day off.

Pandit Amitabh Mishra is known for his detailed and patient approach, particularly in Satyanarayan Katha, Rudrabhishek, and Navgraha Shanti Puja. Also from Uttar Pradesh, he covers Kharadi, Mundhwa, Hadapsar, and Chandan Nagar. Young IT couples performing a ceremony for the first time without their parents present especially appreciate his explanatory style — he walks the family through every step of the vidhi in Hindi, making the ceremony meaningful rather than merely procedural.

Grihapravesh and Vastu Shanti Puja — Kharadi’s Highest Demand

With 56+ residential projects under construction in Kharadi and new flat deliveries every month — Panchshil Eon Waterfront, Gera Avive Towers, Casagrand Caladium, VTP Velvet Villa, Yashwin Orrizonte — Grihapravesh is the most requested service.

For North Indian families who have invested ₹80 lakhs to ₹2 crores in a Kharadi flat, the Grihapravesh is not a token puja — it is the foundation ceremony that sets the energy of the home for years to come.

Package 1: Basic Grihapravesh Puja — ₹7,500

1 pandit ji, approximately 3 hours. Ganesh Pujan, Navgraah Pujan, Kalash Pujan, Vastu Pujan, Dwar Pujan, Kitchen Pujan, Shanti Havan, and Maha Sankalp. 2 puja mandals.

Package 2: Vastu Shanti Puja — ₹15,000 (Most Popular in Kharadi)

2 pandit ji, approximately 4 to 5 hours. The premium ceremony with 6 puja mandals:

Why Kharadi Families Have a Specific Advantage

Unlike Hinjewadi (where the IT park and residential areas are separated by a 30-minute drive) or Wakad (which sits between two corridors), Kharadi offers a genuine walk-to-work lifestyle. This means:

Weekday pujas are practical. Kharadi professionals can attend a morning puja, walk to EON IT Park, and be at their desk by noon. This is not possible in Hinjewadi or PCMC. Our pandits offer early morning ceremony slots specifically for Kharadi families who want to combine a puja with a workday.

Evening Satyanarayan Katha. Some Kharadi families prefer an evening ceremony — starting at 5 or 6 PM after work. The walk-to-work advantage means the family can leave the office, reach home in 10 minutes, and start the puja. Pandit Amitabh Mishra regularly performs evening Satyanarayan Katha in Kharadi societies.

Airport proximity. Kharadi is approximately 7 kilometres from Pune Airport. When parents fly in from Delhi, Lucknow, or Patna for a Grihapravesh or Mundan, the airport proximity means they can arrive in the morning and be at the ceremony within 30 minutes.

Performing Pujas in Kharadi Apartments

Space for basic pujas. Satyanarayan Katha, Namkaran, and Barsi need approximately 4 by 4 feet. Any Kharadi apartment living room accommodates this.

Space for 6 mandals. The Vastu Shanti with 6 mandals needs approximately 8 by 10 feet. Most 2 BHK and 3 BHK Kharadi apartments accommodate this comfortably. Forest County and Panchshil Towers, with their larger flat sizes, are especially well-suited for the Grand package.

Havan in apartments. Our pandits use controlled samagri to minimise smoke. If the society has fire rules, the havan can be performed on the balcony or in the common area. Most Kharadi societies are accommodating.

Weekend vs weekday. Unlike most Pune areas where weekends are the only option, Kharadi families have genuine weekday flexibility. However, weekends remain the most popular choice. Book at least 2 weeks ahead for Saturday or Sunday dates.
