Ritu Shanti Homa – Ceremony for Child Attaining Maturity
A Sacred Vedic Ritual to Bless Your Child’s Transition Into Adulthood
In Hindu tradition, Ritu Shanti Homa (or Ritushuddhi / Ritusanti Puja) is a significant Vedic ritual performed when a child attains maturity – marking the transition into adulthood. For girls, it is usually conducted at the onset of the first menstrual cycle (menarche), and for boys, when they enter the age of puberty.
This ceremony purifies, blesses, and protects the child during this important life stage, ensuring their good health, prosperity, wisdom, and spiritual growth.
At SmartPuja, we connect you with experienced Vedic Pandits who perform this ritual authentically, as per Shastras, either in-person at your home or through our online e-puja service (for families across India and abroad).
