Bhoomi Puja

Bhoomi Puja is performed before constructing on a piece of land or tilling the land. There are several important reasons why one should perform this puja before starting construction or cultivating the land. Bhoomi or Earth is considered as the Mother of all that exists. By doing this puja we are seeking permission for our actions and forgiveness for disturbing the balance and equilibrium of Mother Earth. During the Puja we chant special vedic sutras and hymns to appease various energies residing in the space and also to ward off any ill energies. The priest visits the site to inspect and select the appropriate area to perform the Puja. Usually Bhoomi Puja is performed in the north east corner of the land.

Bhoomi Puja is performed to bring good luck and fortune to the building. It's performed to invoke blessings of Vastu Purush and remove any Vastu doshas. It is performed to seek blessings from God to ensure the construction completes without any hassle or unexpected hindrances. Bhoomi Puja helps the performer earn God's blessings to ensure safety and well being of the people who will reside in the house. Also to request forgiveness of Mother Earth for disturbing the natural habitat.
