Ensuring that a puja at home goes glitch-free can be a ritual of its own. The long list of requirements, which can range from a specific variety of leaf to cow dung, can induce anxiety even in the most hardened traditionalist. And with the ongoing Hindu holy month of Shravan, and Ganesh Chaturthi around the corner, the list becomes longer.
So, what if we say that booking a pandit, or even an eco-friendly Ganesh idol can be done from your phone? If you are nodding in appreciation, download the OmNamo app or recommend it to your NRI relatives, as they deliver internationally too. Divine deliverance?
On offer are eco-friendly Ganesh idols made of 90 percent paper and 10 percent shadu clay. Their list includes 24 design options and 30 varieties of paper makhar. The puja kits are sourced from women self-help groups while the samagri kits include 27 required items for Ganesh puja. In addition to booking a pandit, you can also book a bhajan mandal or buy kits for other pujas for Shravan.
