Selection of Auspicious Date and Time: Similar to other Hindu ceremonies, the Business Opening Pooja is scheduled on an auspicious day and time, usually determined by consulting a Hindu calendar or an astrologer.

Preparation of the Business Premises: Before the pooja, the business premises are cleaned and decorated with flowers, rangoli, and other auspicious decorations to create a welcoming and positive environment.

Ganesh Puja: The ceremony typically begins with a prayer to Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and the harbinger of success, to seek his blessings for the successful establishment and operation of the business.

Kalash Sthapana: A kalash (pot) filled with water, adorned with mango leaves, coconut, and other sacred items, is established at the entrance or in a prominent place within the business premises. This symbolizes abundance and prosperity.

Havan (Fire Ritual): A sacred fire (havan) is lit within the business premises, and offerings such as ghee, grains, herbs, and incense are made into the fire while chanting Vedic mantras. The fire purifies the atmosphere and invokes positive energies.

Pujas to Deities: Depending on the business owner’s tradition and beliefs, pujas may be conducted to invoke the blessings of specific deities associated with wealth, prosperity, and success, such as Lakshmi (goddess of wealth), Saraswati (goddess of knowledge and wisdom), and Kubera (the treasurer of wealth).

Blessing of Tools and Equipment: If applicable, tools, equipment, and important items related to the business may be blessed during the pooja to ensure their efficiency and effectiveness in the business operations.
