Udakashanthi Pandit in Visakhapatnam (Vizag)
Vizag families hold an Udakashanthi before weddings and Upanayanam, when moving into a new house, or for peace and health in the family. It needs a team of purohits chanting together, so DoPuja confirms the team for your address before you pay.

In DoPuja’s current listing, Udakashanthi is about 150 minutes, 4 purohits, from ₹15,000.

Udakashanthi
What is Udakashanthi?
In Udakashanthi a group of purohits chants Vedic mantras over a kalasham of water for a long, unbroken stretch. The water, now consecrated, is sprinkled on the family and through the house, and is often used for a ritual bath. The word itself means “peace through water”.
Choosing the day and muhurtham
It is often held a day or two before a wedding or another samskara, at a new home, or on an auspicious day chosen from the panchangam. Mornings are common, so the family can use the water the same day.

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.
