For generations, Pooja was something we learned at home. From our mothers, grandmothers, and families — someone always knew what was needed, what came next, and how it was done.
But as life changes, so does the way we experience it.
We move cities. We move away from home. We start working. We build families. Our lives become busier and, somewhere along the way, the traditions we grew up with can become a little harder to hold on to.
But the desire to stay connected remains.
For us, that feeling became especially real when one of us moved abroad and spent seven years living away from home and family.
Being far from home didn't make the connection to our traditions feel less important. In many ways, it made us want to hold on to them even more.
We wanted to perform the rituals we had grown up watching, celebrate our festivals more meaningfully, and bring a little more spirituality into everyday life.
But when it came time to do these things ourselves, we realised how much we didn't know.
We had watched our families perform poojas and rituals countless times. Yet suddenly there were questions.
What do we need? Where do we find everything? How do we prepare? What comes next?
So we searched online, watched videos, called our parents and elders, and slowly figured things out.
And somewhere along the way, we realised this wasn't just our experience.
So many of us are living away from the homes we grew up in. We move cities and countries, build careers and families, and create lives of our own. The people who once guided us through these traditions may not always be around to show us what to do.
But our connection to what grounds us doesn't have to disappear just because the way we live has changed.
That thought became House of Durva.
We started by creating our Pooja Kit, bringing together the essentials and the guidance needed to perform a ritual with confidence.
We take care of the preparation.
You bring the intention.
