Dhwaja Puja is the worship of the temple or home flag (Dhwaj) — a symbol of victory, strength, protection, and divine presence. The Dhwaja (flag) hoisted on temples or homes signifies honor to the deities, and performing Dhwaja Puja is believed to invite positive energies, ward off negativity, and establish a spiritual shield over the household or sacred space.

Traditionally performed during festivals, temple inaugurations, or auspicious days, Dhwaja Puja is especially significant in Sanatan Dharma as the flag represents the vehicle of divine blessings.
