Ram Darbar Puja

Overview

What Is This Puja?

Ram Darbar Puja is the household rite that honours the complete court of Ram ji - Ram ji as the Maryada Purushottam, Sita ji as the embodiment of pativrata dharma, Lakshman ji as the devoted brother, and Hanuman ji as the eternal devotee in service. Performed on Ram Navami as the principal annual observance, and at significant family thresholds, the puja is the household's way of holding up the Ram Darbar as the ideal of family life. At SiddhiStar, the puja is performed at home, or as an Online Puja with the pandit performing live from Narwar Dham while the family joins live from home. Your gotra and Kul Devata are recorded at booking. The base puja takes approximately two hours, with Hawan offered as an optional 30-minute add-on at the time of booking. The rite includes the Ramayan Mangalacharan and a Ram Stuti as part of the central worship.
SiddhiStar Note
“Ram Darbar Puja is one of the very few household rites where the entire deity court is invoked together - not Ram ji alone, not Sita ji alone, but the four together as a single sacred household. In the parampara, this reflects the truth that dharma is not lived alone - it is lived in relationship, in family, in service. The household that invites the Ram Darbar invites that ideal to take seat within its own walls.”

SiddhiStar Samagri Policy
For Online Puja, the SiddhiStar Samagri Kit (Block 1) is included by default, as the pandit performs from Narwar Dham with the kit ready. For Ghar Par Puja, the kit is offered as an optional add-on at booking - the family may receive the kit at home before the puja date or arrange the Block 1 items themselves.

Important Note

Per the Narwar parampara, this puja does not include a structured paath recitation count (such as 11 paath); instead, the Ramayan Mangalacharan and Ram Stuti are recited as part of the central rite. For Ghar Par Puja, the family arranges the Ram Darbar murti set, the Ramayana book, the kheer and tulsi patra, and the hawan kund (where the Hawan add-on is opted in).
