Shuddhikaran Puja, also known as the purification ceremony, is a Hindu ritual performed to cleanse and purify individuals, homes, temples, or any other spaces. This puja aims to remove negative energies, impurities, and doshas (defects) to restore balance and harmony. The term "Shuddhikaran" comes from "Shuddhi," meaning purification, and "Karan," meaning process or act.
