A Simple Guide to Important Puja Essentials – And Where to Find Them

In Hindu culture, every special occasion is marked by pooja a beautiful ritual that shows our love and respect towards our Gods, Goddesses, and Gurus. Whether it’s a festival, a family function, or a prayer for peace, performing a pooja is an important part of our tradition.

But before starting any pooja, it’s good to understand why we are doing it, what we need for it, and how to do it right. Each pooja has its own set of items, and having everything ready in advance helps avoid last-minute rushes.

At Sripuram Store, we make this easy by offering individual puja items and even ready-to-use pooja kits so you don’t have to stress about missing anything.

Here’s a simple list of must-have pooja essentials for a basic home puja:

Pooja Thali

This is the main plate where you place all the other items. It’s usually made of copper, silver, or steel. You’ll use this thali to perform Aarti, by rotating it in front of the deity.

Navgraha Shanti Packs

For specific rituals like Rahu or Shani puja, these special packs contain all the small items required.

Holy Water

Water from sacred rivers like the Ganga or Narmada, along with Rose water (Gulabjal) and Gomutra, is used to purify idols and offer Abhishek (ritual bathing).

Sindoor & Tilak Powders

Tilak symbolizes purity and respect. You can use Haldi, Kumkum, Chandan, or Kamakhya Sindoor. We offer a wide range of organic, traditional powders for every ritual.

Incense Sticks & Holders

Fragrant agarbattis bring in a calming, peaceful vibe. They are also used as offerings during the puja. Explore our range of natural incense sticks and handcrafted holders.

Camphor (Karpooram)

Essential for the final aarti, camphor is lit at the end of the puja to seek blessings.
You’ll find high-quality, slow-burning camphor on our website.

Prasad (Sweets)

No puja is complete without prasad! It is first offered to the deity and then shared with everyone.

Flowers

Fresh flowers like Lotus, Jasmine, and Mogra are used to show love and devotion.
We offer eco-friendly, artificial floral garlands that stay fresh for long.

Potlis and Storage Items

These small pouches help store things like cotton wicks, holy threads, bhasma, and charcoal neatly.
