What is Nitya Puja (Daily Puja at Home)?
Nitya Puja is the daily worship of the family deity at the home shrine — lamp, water, flowers, archana and naivedya offered every morning. Stuti Mandir sends a verified pandit to perform it for you on the days you choose: when you are unwell, travelling, after a bereavement, or simply to learn the right way to do it.
The shastras describe the home shrine as the heart of the house; a lamp lit and a simple puja offered every day keep the deities invoked there honoured. The basic form is panchopachara — sandal, flowers, incense, lamp and naivedya — and on special days the full sixteen services (shodashopachara).

Telugu families begin with Ganapati and end the daily puja with Vishnu Sahasranama or Lalitha Sahasranama parayanam on Fridays.
Pandits follow the Telugu Smarta and Vaishnava traditions: mantras are chanted in Sanskrit, and the sankalpam and explanations are given in Telugu. Muhurthams follow the Telugu panchangam (Chandramana calendar).
