A shubh aarambh for your new enterprise this Diwali - Ganesh ji invoked, Lakshmi ji seated, the family's new venture blessed before the first transaction.
Overview
What Is This Puja?
For generations, Indian trading families have begun new ventures in the days around Diwali, when the old year’s accounts are closed and new books are opened in Lakshmi’s presence. The Diwali New Business Opening Puja carries that tradition into a modern launch, whether the enterprise is a consultancy, a service firm, an online business, a home-based venture or a new company with a registered office.
Like the New Business Opening Puja, this rite consecrates the business itself as a dharmic activity, not a physical premises, so it can be performed at your home, your registered office or wherever the work will be carried on. In the Diwali season it takes on two further elements: the opening of the enterprise’s first bahi-khata with Shubh and Labh, and a muhurat chosen from the most auspicious days of the festive window. A Pandit of the Narwar Dham parampara, booked through SiddhiStar, takes the sankalpa declaring the nature of the business. He invokes Ganesh ji, performs the central pujan of Lakshmi ji and Saraswati ji, honours Kubera ji as keeper of wealth, and guides the ceremonial first transaction of the enterprise.
SiddhiStar Note
“Modern enterprise often operates without a single physical address - a consultancy from a study room, a tech startup from a coffee shop, an export business from a home office. This Puja recognises this reality on the occasion of Diwali. The puja consecrates the business as an idea taking shape, not just the building it sits in. What is being blessed is the family's commitment to dharmic livelihood, wherever it is conducted from.”

SiddhiStar Samagri Policy
The SiddhiStar Anushthan Samagri required for the puja is included in the puja price. The family may choose to receive the samagri at home before the puja date, or arrange the required items themselves from a local kirana store or home delivery app. Either option is honoured equally. The Anushthan Samagri is provided for convenience and standardisation, and is not a separate charge or a ritual necessity.
Hawan Samagri is separate from the Anushthan Samagri and is available as an optional add-on at an additional charge. If the family opts for a Hawan as part of the puja, the applicable Hawan Samagri will be included and charged separately.
