Frequently Asked Questions
What are the must-have pooja items for Indian festivals?
+

The most crucial items of any festival pooja are idols, figurines, photos of gods or any such deity, a decorated pooja thali, diyas, incense sticks, haldi, kumkum, rice (akshat), fresh flowers, and sweets such as modaks or laddoos. They are the most essential pooja items and are the core of your arrangement. To enhance the presentation, you can find beautiful pooja decoration items like candle stands online.

Can I use the same pooja items for different festivals?
+

Yes, different pooja room items, such as pooja thalis, diyas, incense holders, and kalash, can be used in various festivals. Each item can be ordered separately, or decorated according to the occasion, such as adding mango leaves during Ganesh Chaturthi or lotus and flowers during Lakshmi Puja. iTokri offers the widest range of pooja essentials, be it idols or handmade candles online, to simplify puja shopping for Indian festivals.

What food is commonly offered during festival poojas?
+

Festival poojas are mainly related to traditional sweets and fruits. Use modaks for Ganesh Chaturthi, laddoos for Diwali, kheer for Janmashtami, and bananas or coconut for Soppanas. Make sure to match what you offer the deity in terms of flavor using fresh and sattvic ingredients. To get some ideas, you can visit iTokri, which lists items like Ganesh Chaturthi pooja items with quantity.

Do I need a priest for home poojas?
+

Not necessarily. You can conduct simple rituals with devotion. Pooja items online shopping ensures your experience is hassle-free. Though having a priest for a complicated ceremony is helpful, a simple Ganesh Chaturthi setup at home or a regular daily puja needs a sincere intention and the correct pooja things list. Shop for Vinayagar Chaturthi Pooja Items online from iTokri and be assured of good quality products. 

How should I prepare my home for a festival pooja?
+

Cleaning of the pooja area should be done first. Hang pooja decoration items like garlands and torans, put pooja samagri, install idols or photos, and set pooja samagri in an orderly and decorative way. Take a pooja thali, light a diya, and burn incense. For example, when Navratri is just around the corner, prepare your Navratri pooja items list for home mandir beforehand to ensure you do not fall short of anything in the nine-day festivity.

What is an eco-friendly way to celebrate poojas at home?
+

Choose clay diyas, natural decorations, organic incense, and eco-friendly idols made from biodegradable materials. Avoid chemicals. After performing the pooja, dip the idols in a bucket rather than water bodies and divert the water for gardening.

What are some easy-to-follow daily or festival-specific pooja rituals?
+

To perform a simple daily or festival pooja, light a diya, a flower, or a fruit, and chant simple mantras such as Om Namah Shivaya or Om Gan Ganapataye Namah. 

How do I store pooja items after the festival?
+

Wash and dry washable pooja items such as thalis, diyas, and idols. Wrap them with cotton or bubble wrap. When you buy Lakshmi pooja items for Diwali at home from iTokri, you can repack them and use them again the following season.

Which festivals involve home pooja celebrations in India?
+

Some significant Indian festivals that require home poojas include Diwali, Ganesh Chaturthi, Navratri, Janmashtami, Ram Navami, and Raksha Bandhan. These festivals have different rituals, hence call for different kinds of puja items.
