Mata Ki Chowki
A night of jagran and devotion to the Mother Goddess, with chowki sthapana and aarti.
ॐ Namaste & Welcome
A Hindu pandit for Sharjah families — devotional evenings, family pujas and full ceremonies, with all samagri brought along.
Ceremonies in Sharjah
Sharjah has a settled, close Indian community, and the ceremonies families ask for here reflect that. Where Dubai books griha pravesh for people newly arrived, Sharjah books the gatherings that bring neighbours and extended family into one room: Mata Ki Chowki, Bhajan Sandhya, Akhand Ramayan and the annual observances families have kept for years.
Acharya Deepak Thapliyal leads these himself. As a Sangeet Prabhakar — a trained devotional musician — the chowki and the bhajan sandhya are sung live with harmonium, with the room drawn into the singing rather than listening to a recording. An Akhand Ramayan, the unbroken recitation of the Ramcharitmanas, is organised end to end: the sthapana, the reading rota through the night, and the closing havan and bhog the following day.
Everyday rites are equally at home here — Satyanarayan Katha, Ganesh puja, namkaran, birthday pujan and griha pravesh for apartments and villas across Al Nahda, Al Majaz and Muweilah. Samagri is brought along or a complete list is shared in advance, so families are not sent hunting around Rolla the evening before.
