TL;DR: Pitradev arranges the complete Vastu Shanti Puja at your home in Pune with 2 experienced pandit ji, 6 puja mandals, and 4 to 5 hours of detailed vidhi at ₹15,000. The ceremony includes Shodashmatrika Mandal, Ganesh Pujan Mandal, Navgrah Mandal, Vastu Mandal, Sarvatobhadra Mandal, and Kalash/Vishnu Mandal — each prepared on the floor with coloured rice powder and worshipped with specific mantras. Both Marathi Guruji and North Indian pandit ji available. All samagri included. No hidden charges.
Buying a home in Pune — whether it is a 2 BHK in Hinjewadi or a 3 BHK in Baner — is the single biggest investment most families make in their lifetime. Years of savings, months of loan paperwork, and countless decisions go into that one moment when you finally get the keys.
The Vastu Shanti Puja before entering this home is not a formality. It is the ceremony that removes every Vastu Dosh from the construction, purifies the space of any negative energy accumulated during the building process, invites the blessings of Vastu Purush (the deity of directions) and the Pancha Bhootas (five elements of nature), and prepares the home for a life of peace, prosperity, and harmony.
A basic puja with 1 pandit and 2 mandals takes 1 to 2 hours and covers the minimum. The ₹15,000 Vastu Shanti Puja that Pitradev offers is fundamentally different — it is a comprehensive, premium ceremony with 2 pandit ji, 6 mandals, and 4 to 5 hours of detailed vidhi that leaves nothing undone.
For families who believe that the beginning defines the journey, this is the beginning your home deserves.
The heart of any Vastu Shanti Puja is the mandals — sacred geometric diagrams drawn on the floor with coloured rice powder, each representing a specific divine force. While a basic puja uses 2 mandals, the complete Vastu Shanti Puja uses 6 mandals, each worshipped with its own set of mantras, offerings, and invocations.
Here is what each mandal represents and why it matters:
1. Shodashmatrika Mandal
This mandal invokes the 16 divine mothers (Shodash Matrikas) who are the protective feminine forces of the universe. These include Gauri, Padma, Shachi, Medha, Savitri, Vijaya, Jaya, Devasena, Swadha, Swaha, Mataro, Lokamataro, Dhrithi, Pushti, Tushti, and Kuladevi. Worshipping them at the time of Grihapravesh ensures that the home receives the protective energy of all 16 divine mothers, safeguarding the family from every direction.
2. Ganesh Pujan Mandal
Lord Ganesha is the Vighnaharta — the remover of obstacles. No auspicious ceremony in the Hindu tradition begins without his invocation. The Ganesh Pujan Mandal is drawn and worshipped first, seeking his blessings for the successful completion of the entire Vastu Shanti Puja and for the obstacle-free entry into the new home.
3. Navgrah Mandal
The Navgrah (nine planets) mandal invokes the blessings of Surya, Chandra, Mangal, Budh, Brihaspati, Shukra, Shani, Rahu, and Ketu. Each planet governs specific aspects of life — health, wealth, relationships, career, and stability. Worshipping the Navgrah at the time of Grihapravesh harmonises their influence on the home and its inhabitants, ensuring that no planetary affliction causes disturbance in the new space.
4. Vastu Mandal
This is the central mandal of the entire ceremony. Vastu Purush — the deity who resides in every structure — is invoked and worshipped through this mandal. The mandal maps the 45 energy zones of the home (as per Vastu Shastra), and the worship ensures that Vastu Purush is pleased and the energy flow in the home is aligned for prosperity and well-being. Any Vastu Dosh arising from the construction, the direction of rooms, or the placement of the kitchen and bathrooms is addressed through this mandal.
5. Sarvatobhadra Mandal
The Sarvatobhadra Mandal is one of the most auspicious mandals in Vedic tradition. The word “Sarvatobhadra” means “auspicious in every direction.” This mandal invokes blessings from all directions, all elements, and all deities simultaneously, creating a 360-degree protective shield around the home. It is the mandal that ensures the home is blessed not just from one angle but from every possible direction.
6. Kalash / Vishnu Mandal
The Kalash Mandal represents Lord Vishnu, the preserver of the universe. The sacred Kalash (pot) filled with water, adorned with mango leaves and a coconut, is established on this mandal. Worshipping Lord Vishnu through this mandal invites his preserving energy into the home — ensuring that the prosperity, health, and harmony that enter the home on the day of Grihapravesh are preserved and sustained for years to come.
These 6 mandals together create a complete spiritual foundation for the new home. Each mandal takes 20 to 30 minutes of dedicated worship, which is why the complete ceremony requires 4 to 5 hours and 2 pandit ji working together.
Here is the step-by-step sequence that the 2 pandit ji follow during the ceremony:
Preparation (30 minutes): The pandit ji arrive and prepare the puja area. 6 mandals are drawn on the floor using coloured rice powder (rangoli). The Kalash is established. All samagri is arranged.
Gauri Ganesh Pujan: The ceremony opens with the invocation of Lord Ganesha and Goddess Gauri at the Ganesh Pujan Mandal.
Kalash Pujan: The sacred Kalash is worshipped on the Kalash/Vishnu Mandal.
Shodashmatrika Pujan: The 16 divine mothers are invoked and worshipped at the Shodashmatrika Mandal.
Navgrah Pujan: All 9 planets are worshipped at the Navgrah Mandal with the prescribed mantras and offerings.
Vastu Pujan: Vastu Purush is invoked and worshipped at the Vastu Mandal — the central and most important part of the ceremony.
Sarvatobhadra Pujan: The all-directional blessings are sought at the Sarvatobhadra Mandal.
Dwar Pujan: The main door of the home is worshipped — this is the point through which all energy enters the home.
Kitchen Pujan: The kitchen is purified and blessed — this is where the family’s nourishment will come from, and its sanctity is essential.
Vastu Shanti Havan: The sacred fire is lit in the havan kund, and offerings of ghee, samagri, and herbs are made with Vedic mantras specific to Vastu Shanti. The havan purifies the atmosphere of the entire home.
Maha Sankalp: The formal intention of the Grihapravesh is declared, with the names of all family members who will reside in the home.
Maha Aarti: The family performs the concluding Aarti together.
Grihapravesham: The family enters the home formally after the completion of the puja, stepping over the threshold with the right foot first.
Pitradev offers the complete 6-mandal Vastu Shanti Puja at your home in Pune at a fixed, all-inclusive cost of ₹15,000.
The complete list is shared at the time of booking. Pandit ji brings all havan materials, mandal preparation items, and puja samagri — you arrange only the household items.
You can directly book this package from our Vastu Shanti Puja booking page.
Pune is a city where both Marathi and North Indian families live side by side. The Vastu Shanti Puja vidhi differs between traditions, and using a pandit from your own tradition matters.
For Marathi families:
A Marathi Guruji performs the ceremony as per Maharashtrian tradition — with the specific sankalp form, mantras, and customs that Marathi families recognise. For families looking for a pandit in Pune from the local tradition, Pitradev has verified Marathi purohits available.
For North Indian families:
A North Indian pandit in Pune from Prayagraj, Banaras, Gaya, or Mithila performs the ceremony in the Hindi-speaking tradition. The mantras, the havan, the sankalp, and the overall flow are exactly what UP, Bihar, Delhi, Rajasthan, and Jharkhand families have grown up with.
For Telugu, Tamil, and Kannada families:
South Indian purohits are also available for families who wish to have the Vastu Shanti performed in their regional tradition.
The language and tradition preference is confirmed at the time of booking.
Pune’s real estate market offers flats ranging from ₹50 lakhs to ₹3 crores. Whether you are buying your first 2 BHK in Wagholi or upgrading to a 3 BHK in Baner, the flat is the biggest financial commitment of your life.
The ₹15,000 Vastu Shanti Puja represents less than 0.03% of the cost of even a ₹50 lakh flat. For this investment, you get a 4 to 5 hour ceremony with 2 pandit ji, 6 mandals, a complete havan, and the assurance that every Vastu Dosh in the home has been addressed before your family sleeps in it for the first time.
Compare this with the basic ₹7,500 option (1 pandit, 2 mandals, 2 to 3 hours) — it covers the essentials but does not include the Shodashmatrika, Sarvatobhadra, or the full Kalash/Vishnu Mandal worship. For a home you plan to live in for decades, the complete ceremony is the one that gives you lasting peace of mind.
Pitradev arranges Vastu Shanti Puja across every residential area in Pune. Here are the areas where we receive the highest demand:

No matter which area of Pune you are in, 2 verified pandit ji can be arranged at your doorstep with all puja samagri for the complete 6-mandal Vastu Shanti Puja.
Most families in Pune live in apartments, and performing a premium puja with 6 mandals and havan requires specific planning:
Space requirement. The 6 mandals need approximately 8 feet by 10 feet of clear floor space. Most living rooms in 2 BHK and 3 BHK Pune apartments can accommodate this. If the living room is compact, mandals can be arranged in the drawing-cum-dining area.
Havan smoke. Our pandit ji are experienced in performing havan in apartments. A controlled amount of samagri is used to minimise smoke while maintaining the completeness of the havan. Keep windows and balcony doors open for ventilation.
Society rules. Some gated societies have rules about fire inside flats. If your society has such rules, inform us at booking and the pandit ji will adjust — sometimes performing the havan on the balcony or in the society’s common area is the practical solution.
6 chowkis. You need 6 small wooden tables or chowkis for the mandals. If you do not have these, small stools or flat boards can also be used. The pandit ji guides you on the arrangement when they arrive.
Timing. The puja starts between 7 and 9 AM and finishes by noon or early afternoon. Morning start is recommended so the family can complete the Grihapravesh and settle into the home by evening.
While the ₹15,000 package is the most recommended, Pitradev also offers:
Basic Grihapravesh Puja — ₹7,500
1 pandit ji, 2 mandals, approximately 3 hours. Covers the essential pujas — Ganesh Pujan, Navgrah Pujan, Vastu Pujan, Dwar Pujan, Kitchen Pujan, and Shanti Havan. Suited for families who want a complete but compact ceremony.
Grand Vastu Shanti Puja with Satyanarayan Katha and Durga Saptshati Path — ₹21,000
3 pandit ji, all 6 mandals, approximately 4 to 5 hours. Everything in the ₹15,000 package plus Satyanarayan Katha and Durga Saptshati Path. The most elaborate Grihapravesh ceremony available.
All packages include pandit dakshina and puja samagri. No hidden charges.
Book at least 7 to 10 days in advance. During the November-December Grihapravesh season (after Devuthani Ekadashi), booking 2 to 3 weeks in advance is strongly recommended as pandit availability fills up fast.
A new home is not just a property. It is the place where your family will build its future — where your children will grow up, where your festivals will be celebrated, where your happiest and hardest moments will unfold. The Vastu Shanti Puja is the ceremony that prepares this space to receive all of it with grace.
The 6-mandal Vastu Shanti Puja at ₹15,000 with 2 pandit ji is the most complete way to begin this chapter. Every mandal has a purpose. Every mantra has a direction. And every minute of the 4 to 5 hour ceremony contributes to the spiritual foundation of your home.
With Pitradev, Marathi Guruji and North Indian pandit ji are both available across every area of Pune — from Megapolis in Hinjewadi to Gera’s Planet of Joy in Kharadi. The price is fixed, the samagri is included, and the vidhi is complete. Book your Vastu Shanti Puja and enter your home the right way.
