Pratishtha means installation or consecration — it is a sacred Vedic ritual performed to invoke divine presence into a new idol (Murti) or temple. Through mantra chanting, homa (fire ritual), and Abhishekh (holy bathing), the deity is energized and spiritually awakened so that devotees may offer prayers and receive divine blessings.
This ritual is performed with utmost devotion and precision by experienced pandits following ancient Vedic scriptures. Whether it is the installation of Lord Shiva, Vishnu, Ganesh, Durga, Lakshmi, Saraswati, or any other deity, the Pratishtha ceremony ensures that the idol becomes a living representation of the divine energy.
Significance of Vastu Pooja:
- Performed before entering a new home, office, factory, or after major renovations.
- Ensures positivity, prosperity, and peace in the living or working space.
- Removes Vastu doshas and brings balance to the five elements (earth, water, fire, air, and space).
Benefits of Pratishtha of God and Goddess:
- Brings divine blessings, peace, and prosperity to the place of worship.
- Enhances spiritual vibrations in the home, temple, or organization.
- Ensures purity and sanctity of rituals performed thereafter.
- Removes negativity and invites harmony and success.
When to Perform:
The Pratishtha ceremony is performed on an auspicious day and muhurat as per the Pandit’s guidance and the type of deity being installed. The ritual usually includes Ganesh Pooja, Kalash Sthapana, Pran Pratishtha, and Havan.
