About Hindu Priest Services for Religious Ceremonies
My Approach to Rituals
For me, being a priest isn’t just a job - it’s seva. I do every pooja, homa, or ceremony with the intention that your whole family feels peace and divine anugraha. I bring a personal touch, whether it’s a rangoli on the floor or flower decorations. I want the space to feel spiritual and welcoming.
Ceremonies I Offer
- Vedic priest for housewarming ceremony (Gruhapravesh) to purify and energise your new home.
- Ganapathi homa for new beginnings. This one’s all about removing obstacles, so you start off on the right foot.
- Satyanarayana pooja for well-being - families ask me for this often, it’s calming and brings people together.
- Laxmi Narayana Hrudaya and Laxmi Narasimha homas for prosperity, harmony, and protection.
- My Durga Deepa Namaskara pooja is special, with loads of lamps in the evening. If you want courage or protection, I also do Chandika homa.
Remedies for Difficult Times
I also help with remedy pooja for planetary afflictions - Ashlesha Bali (for Sarpa Dosha), Shani Shanthi, and others. If someone’s horoscope shows challenges, these rituals are meant to bring relief.
What Matters Most
I pray that Bhagavantha accepts our offerings and your family gets the blessings you seek. If you want a genuine, soulful ceremony, I’m here for you.

My Story
Namaskara, I’m Phaneendra Acharya, purohith from Bangalore. For me, pooja isn’t just mantra chanting - it’s art, it’s creation. I lose myself making big, colourful mandalas and rangolis, drawing deities with powders and flowers. That’s my meditation. Every colour, every petal, it’s got its own energy. When you walk in and see a Durga Deepa Namaskara, you feel the divine before I even start. I want you to see it, not just hear it.
