puja

Participating in the Shri Kali Amavasya Puja at Baidyanath Dham is a spiritually elevating and transformative experience. On the sacred night of Amavasya, powerful rituals, including special pujas, homa, and offerings are performed to invoke the fierce and protective energy of Maa Kali. Devotees pray for victory over enemies, removal of negative influences, inner purification, and spiritual strength. By being part of the complete ritual sequence at one of the most revered Jyotirlingas, they also receive the healing blessings of Baba Baidyanath, symbolizing the perfect union of Shakti and Shiva, ensuring both divine protection and worldly success.

Shodashopchar Puja is one of the most revered and structured forms of worship in Sanatan Dharma, symbolizing complete devotion and divine hospitality. The term “Shodash” means sixteen, and “Upachar” refers to offerings or services. This ritual involves offering sixteen traditional items such as water, flowers, incense, lamp, food, and more, beginning with welcoming the deity and concluding with a respectful farewell. Each step is symbolic of honoring the deity as a divine guest, expressing deep love, surrender, and reverence. Performing Shodashopchar Puja is believed to attract divine blessings, spiritual elevation, and harmony in both personal and spiritual life.
