What to Serve at a Vastu Pooja:
A Complete Satvik Menu Guide

A Vastu Pooja or Griha Pravesh is one of the most sacred ceremonies in Gujarati culture. The food served at this occasion must honour the spiritual significance of the event — which means following strict Satvik principles: no onion, no garlic, no non-vegetarian items, and ideally freshly cooked food on the day itself.

What Is Satvik Food?

Satvik food, rooted in Ayurveda and Hindu tradition, is light, pure, and spiritually uplifting. It excludes onion, garlic, and overly spicy or fried foods. The emphasis is on fresh, natural ingredients prepared without excessive tempering or heat. It is believed that Satvik food purifies the mind, keeps energy calm, and is appropriate for occasions of prayer and spiritual significance.

• 20–50 guests: 4 snack items, 2 sabzis, 1 dal, rice, bread, dessert
• 50–100 guests: 5–6 items + a small live counter (can be puri-bhaji or sev puri)
