Perform Puja as per Vedic rituals at Famous Hindu Temples in India

According to astrology, the Ketu influences a person's life to such an extent that it can bring various troubles and difficulties. The influence of planets on every individual's life can be either auspicious or inauspicious, and the same holds true for the planet Ketu. Ketu is considered a shadow planet. Symbolised as a headless serpent, its nature is perceived as cruel, associated with logic, intelligence, knowledge, dispassion, disturbance, and other mental attributes. It is said that a favourable Ketu can bring immense knowledge, spirituality, luxury, and much more. However, when Ketu is unfavourably placed or weak in one's birth chart, it can lead to various problems. It often induces a feeling of detachment, losses, aimlessness, wandering, and confusion in life, which can cause stagnancy and halt growth. 

In Hinduism, Lord Ganesha is considered the deity of Ketu. Therefore, those troubled by Ketu's afflictions should worship Lord Ganesha. Wednesday is dedicated to Ketu, which is why performing this puja on this day is considered especially auspicious. It is believed that performing Ketu Mool Mantra jaap and Havan on Wednesday at a Ganesh temple helps one attain blessings to overcome stagnancy and find purpose in life. According to numerology, the ruling planet of the number 7 is Ketu. Therefore, chanting the Ketu Mool Mantra 7,000 times is considered highly beneficial. Hence, the 7,000 Ketu Mool Mantra jaap and Havan will be organised on Wednesday at the Shri Bada Ganesh Temple, Ujjain. Participate in this puja through Sri Mandir and receive the blessings to overcome stagnancy and find purpose in life.

For Blessings to Overcome Stagnancy and Find Purpose in Life

7,000 Ketu Mool Mantra jaap and Havan

In Sanatan Dharma, the month of Magha is highly sacred, and Gupt Navratri, beginning on the Pratipada Tithi of Shukla Paksha, holds immense religious significance. During this period, devotees worship the 10 Mahavidyas, manifestations of Goddess Durga, to seek divine blessings and spiritual growth. It is believed that Devi Consciousness peaks during Magha Gupt Navratri, especially on Durga Ashtami, granting the wishes of devotees and providing protection from harm. Worshipping the fierce forms of Maa Durga on this auspicious day is said to fulfill all desires. Therefore, on the auspicious occasion of Magha Gupt Navratri Ashtami, Sri Mandir is organizing the 5 Mahavidya Anushthan at the Shaktipeeth Kalighat. This ritual will include the Shakti Samriddhi Mahayagya dedicated to Maa Kali, Maa Tara, Maa Shodashi, Maa Bhuvaneshwari, and Maa Bagalamukhi. It is believed that performing this puja dedicated to the 5 Mahavidyas blesses devotees with protection from enemies and abundance in life.

According to the Devi Bhagavata Purana, the origin of the Mahavidyas is linked to a dispute between Lord Shiva and his consort Devi Sati. When Lord Shiva refused to permit Devi Sati to attend her father’s yagya, she transformed herself into ten forms and surrounded Lord Shiva from all directions to prevent him from leaving. These ten forms came to be known as the Mahavidyas. Among them, the five most revered are Maa Kali, Maa Tara, Maa Shodashi, Maa Bhuvaneshwari, and Maa Bagalamukhi.

The first Mahavidya, Maa Kali, represents time, creation, and destruction. She embodies the power of Lord Shiva. Maa Durga assumed her form to defeat demons. She removes obstacles, destroys negativity, and initiates new beginnings.

Maa Tara is the principal goddess of Tantrics. Sage Vasishtha was the first to worship her. She symbolizes guidance and compassion, helping devotees navigate difficult times while granting them wisdom and spiritual liberation.
Maa Shodashi, also known as Lalita, Raj Rajeshwari, and Tripura Sundari, is believed to embody 16 supreme qualities, which is why she is named Shodashi. She represents beauty, harmony, and ultimate truth. She is worshipped for her ability to bring balance and completeness to life.
Maa Bhuvaneshwari is regarded as the Goddess of the Universe. It is said that she governs the entire cosmos. She is the nurturing power of creation and abundance. Maa Bhuvaneshwari blesses her devotees by bestowing abundance, nurturing creation, and expanding opportunities for growth and success.


Maa Bagalamukhi represents control, victory, and peace. She is known for her power to subdue enemies and provide protection. Maa Bagalamukhi blesses her devotees by helping them overcome obstacles, master challenges, and ensure victory during times of conflict.

You too can participate in the Magha Gupt Navratri Ashtami 5 Mahavidya Anushthan through Sri Mandir and receive the divine blessings of the 5 Mahavidyas—Maa Kali, Maa Tara, Maa Shodashi, Maa Bhuvaneshwari, and Maa Baglamukhi.
