Punyavachanam (Naming and Purification Ritual)

Held after childbirth or major life events, this cleansing and blessing ceremony is performed to invoke divine grace. We provide priest coordination, homam arrangements, and sacred items, creating a serene setup for this important ritual.

Upanayanam / Poonal (Sacred Thread Ceremony)

One of the most sacred rites of passage in Brahmin households, the Poonal ceremony marks the beginning of a boy’s spiritual journey. We coordinate venue setup, homam arrangements, vadhyar booking, yajnopaveetham supplies, and elaborate South Indian thaligai menus.
