Bhoomi Puja Pandit in Visakhapatnam (Vizag)
New homes and buildings keep going up on Vizag’s edges, towards Anandapuram, Pendurthi and Anakapalli. Before construction begins, families and builders hold a Bhoomi Puja or Shankusthapana on the site. Book a purohit through DoPuja for the Ganapathi puja, Vastu puja and the foundation stone at the muhurtham.
Bhoomi Puja, also called Shankusthapana, is the ground-breaking and foundation-stone ceremony done on a plot before construction begins. In DoPuja’s current listing, Bhoomi Puja is about 90 minutes, 1 purohit, from ₹6,000. DoPuja books a purohit who has completed DoPuja verification for homes and venues in Visakhapatnam (Vizag) and nearby areas; you confirm the date, samagri and final total in the DoPuja app before paying.
Booking and payment continue in the customer app. Check the final price and inclusions before confirming.

Bhoomi Puja
What is Bhoomi Puja?
Bhoomi Puja honours Bhoomi Devi, the earth, and seeks her permission before construction disturbs the soil. Shankusthapana is the laying of the foundation stone that follows. Together they mark the start of building work and are different from Gruhapravesam, which is done when you enter the finished home.
Choosing the day and muhurtham
The date is chosen from the panchangam, often with the owner’s star and a good nakshatra for starting construction. Morning muhurthams suit open plots before the day gets hot.

Home pujas in the port city
Vizag is a fast-growing coastal city with many new apartment communities, so housewarmings and business openings are common reasons families book a purohit here. Many families follow north coastal Andhra (Uttarandhra) customs, and many others have roots elsewhere in India, so tell the purohit which tradition your family follows.
