About Group / Community Puja
Group puja brings families together for collective worship. Whether it is your apartment society celebrating Navratri, a temple organizing Satyanarayan puja, or an office doing a Diwali Lakshmi puja, Gopuja handles the entire ceremony end-to-end. Multiple pandits, complete samagri, mandap setup, prasadam, and sound system for large gatherings.
When to perform it
Group pujas are ideal during festivals (Navratri, Ganesh Chaturthi, Diwali, Ugadi, Pongal), for apartment housewarmings, new building Vastu Shanti, community Satyanarayan puja, or any occasion where multiple families want to worship together.
The South Indian procedure
South Indian group pujas follow Karnataka, Tamil, Telugu, or Tulu traditions with proper Vedic chanting, Punyahavachanam, Homam, and Mangala Aarti. Popular group pujas include Satyanarayana Puja, Ganapathi Homam, and Varalakshmi Vrata.
This is the form our pandits follow by default in Nazarbad — Mysore families are overwhelmingly Kannada-tradition. Tell us if your family follows a different sampradaya and we will match a purohit accordingly.

How many people can participate in a group puja?
From 10 families to 500+ people. We scale the number of pandits, samagri quantity, and setup based on your group size.

Apartment common areas, clubhouses, terraces, temples, community halls, office lobbies, and open grounds. We adapt to any venue.

Planning your Group / Community Puja in Nazarbad
Nazarbad sits in Central Mysore, close to Mysore Palace, and we serve the whole belt around it — Lakshmipuram, Ittigegud, Chamarajapuram, Agrahara included. Whether you are in an independent house, one of the newer apartment projects, or a family home that has been in the locality for generations, the group / community puja is performed at your address with the samagri brought to you.
Mysore families usually want the Kannada tradition, and that is our default here — the sankalpa, the procedure and the explanation all in Kannada. If your family follows a different sampradaya, or you need the ritual explained in English for relatives joining from abroad, say so when you book and we will match a purohit accordingly.
