About Puja

Ganadhipa Sankashti Sarva Vighna Nivaran Puja and Karya Siddhi Havan is a sacred ritual dedicated to Lord Ganesha, the Vighnaharta – the remover of obstacles and the giver of wisdom, success, and prosperity. It is observed on Sankashti Chaturthi, a highly auspicious day known for its power to dissolve difficulties and bless devotees with clarity, focus, and progress in their endeavors. Scriptures describe Sankashti Chaturthi as a day when Lord Ganesha’s energy is at its peak, making it ideal for seeking his guidance and protection. Lord Ganesha is believed to have eight divine forms, and of these, the seventh form, Vighnaraja, is especially worshipped to overcome obstacles and ensure success. The Skanda Purana and Ganapati Upanishad recount that Vighnaraja blesses devotees by transforming challenges into opportunities, turning hardships into achievements, and guiding sincere efforts toward fulfillment. Worshipping Ganesha in this form strengthens determination, removes blockages in personal and professional life, and brings auspicious beginnings. This puja is conducted at the Chintaman Ganesh Temple in Ujjain, a siddha and spiritually potent site revered for centuries. The temple is famous for fulfilling the prayers of devotees and removing worries. It is believed that Lord Ganesha’s divine presence here is especially powerful, and offering prayers at this temple attracts his grace to overcome life’s obstacles and bless devotees with prosperity and peace of mind. The Karya Siddhi Havan performed along with the puja enhances its spiritual potency. The havan purifies the mind and surroundings, aligns intentions with divine energies, and supports the successful completion of important tasks. Observing this combined ritual at Chintaman Ganesh Temple helps devotees invite harmony, courage, and clarity into their lives, while receiving the blessings of Lord Ganesha to navigate challenges and achieve fulfillment in all endeavors.
