Engagement Puja - Sacred Ring Ceremony in Pune
Engagement (Sagai, Sakharpuda, or Roka) is the formal agreement of marriage between two families, marked by the exchange of rings and blessings. It is the first step towards the sacred union, signifying the "Vak-Daan" (word of honor) between families. The ceremony typically involves Ganesh Puja to remove obstacles, Kalash Sthapana for purity, and the exchange of gifts and sweets. Our expert Pandits conduct this auspicious event with joy and tradition, setting the perfect tone for the upcoming wedding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a Muhurat required for Engagement?
Yes, checking an auspicious Muhurat (date and time) is highly recommended for Engagement as it is a major life commitment. We provide free Muhurat consultation with the booking.
What is the difference between Roka and Engagement?
Roka is traditionally a simpler, initial confirmation often done immediately after fixing the match. Engagement (Sagai) is a more elaborate formal event with ring exchange. We conduct pujas suitable for both scales.
Can this be done at home?
Yes, Engagement Puja is frequently done at the bride's home or a small hall. Our Pandits are comfortable performing it at any venue of your choice.
Do we need a Havan for Engagement?
Usually, a Havan is not mandatory for Engagement, but a small Ganpati Havan can be performed if desired for extra auspiciousness. The main focus is on the Puja and Ring exchange.
