Description

Bhoomi Puja is performed before constructing on a piece of land or tilling the land. There are several important reasons why one should perform this puja before starting construction or cultivating the land. Bhoomi or Earth is considered as the Mother of all that exists. By doing this puja we are seeking permission for our actions and forgiveness for disturbing the balance and equilibrium of Mother Earth. During the Puja we chant special vedic sutras and hymns to appease various energies residing in the space and also to ward off any ill energies. The priest visits the site to inspect and select the appropriate area to perform the Puja. Usually Bhoomi Puja is performed in the north east corner of the land.
