Description
Murti Pran Pratishta is the sacred Vedic ritual of invoking divine energy into a new idol or Murti, whether it’s Lord Krishna, Ganesha, Lakshmi, or any deity. Just like a temple idol gets life through consecration, your home deity also needs to be energized with Vedic mantras and rituals for it to become spiritually active.
This puja marks the transformation of a simple statue into a divine embodiment, capable of receiving your prayers, offering blessings, and protecting your home with divine energy.

- Households installing new deities (vigrahams or idols) for daily puja
- Individuals gifting or receiving an idol as part of Griha Pravesh or wedding
- Devotees replacing old broken murtis with new metal, marble, or panchaloha idols
- Especially important for bronze, brass, or stone idols that are 2 inches or bigger
