Online Puja Classes in Leicester
Learn to perform the puja, not just attend one
Most households in Leicester perform some form of daily puja, and most perform it from memory — a sequence half-learnt from a grandparent, with the mantras approximated and a few steps quietly dropped. These classes teach the procedure as it is actually laid down: each step in its place, each mantra pronounced correctly, and the reason behind both.

Learn to perform the puja, not just attend one
A video can show you the order of a puja. It cannot hear that your Saṅkalpa is garbled, or notice that you have been skipping Ācamana for a year. Classes are live and small for that reason, and every learner chants and performs alone while the teacher listens.
Leicester has one of the oldest and most settled Indian communities in Britain, and that changes what parents want from us. Families here are often third-generation, and the request is usually to recover something a grandparent had rather than to maintain something the household still practises.
The meaning of each step, so the actions are understood and not merely copied

Batch timings for Leicester
Live classes on GMT/BST, scheduled around your week rather than ours.
Weekday 4:30 to 7:00 PM UK after school, and Saturday mornings. Leicester shares timings with our London batches, and children from both usually sit together.
Belgrave and the surrounding wards are where most of our Leicester families are, with others across the East Midlands. We are asked more often here than anywhere else in the UK for classes that a grandparent can sit in on, and that is welcome.
What you walk away able to do
Correct Sanskrit pronunciation across the whole sequence
Understanding what every offering and mantra actually means
A fixed, calm daily practice the household can keep

Three simple steps to begin
1. Tell us who the class is for
Call or WhatsApp us and say who is joining and where they are starting from. For online puja classes that matters — the mentor pitches the first class to their age, body and experience.
2. Personal guidance from a mentor
A real, live class, not a sales call. The mentor works with you for the full session and then tells you honestly whether this is the right class and batch of ours.
3. Pick a slot that fits your week
We place you in a batch scheduled for GMT/BST, around work, family and daily routine rather than across them.
“Timezone was our biggest worry. Smriti Samskara made it effortless, the Mahabharata class fits perfectly into our London evenings, and the storytelling quality is simply exceptional.”
