By tradition the Mool Shanti Puja is held 27 days after the birth, or on some other auspicious date a knowledgeable priest suggests. This puja takes place at Astha Vinayak Mandir - Ark Vinayak, Varanasi. The ritual opens with a Sankalp that names the devotee and gotra. Ganesh Pujan, Kalash Sthapana and worship of the Nakshatra Devata come next. Vedic mantras are chanted, and a havan and Purnahuti complete the puja. Priests follow Vedic custom throughout.
