I really appreciate your interest in doing Puja in a Temple. Perhaps you have to visit a Temple
in your place frequently and start assisting the Gurukal over there for sometime and express your
interest in learning things as a hobby not as a Competitor to him, if you do not have a place to
learn in a Class. Online coaching may not bring you the desired results.
Any person whether man or woman, young or old can do Puja at home, if he or she knows the
basics of Puja. I do not think caste, language, sex, etc is a hindrance for doing Puja at home.
The true fact is that in Hinduism, there is no discrimination of any sort against women too. She
has to completely observe certain routines (their periods, etc) if they are to do Puja. In India
there are some temples, where women do perform Puja. Preferably above 50 would be an ideal
age. Our great Rishis considered man and woman as equal in spirituality. The Pujas are done
mainly with Moola Mandra. This has to be learnt only through Guru, if one has to attain the
desired result. Each mantra is a magazine (by various Writers) of vast spiritual force. We have
to choose the correct and appropriate one. For e.g. Dhanwanthri Puja - to come out of one's
own ailments - "Ohm Dwam Dhanwantharaye Namaha", For Goddess Saraswathi - "Ohm Shreem
Hreem Saraswathaye Namah". These are very simple ones, especially for children to chant.
There are many Sanskrit Documents which you can refer in the Net Too. There is one website
Sanskritdocumednt.org/mirrors/puja/how_why/puja_what is%20_it.htm. In this you will
find procedurally everything. There is a difference in doing Pujas at home and at Temples.
If you have a person locally in T.Nagar, you can collect a book titled "Eliya Agama Pujaa Murai"
i.e. Easy way of performing Puja released by Village Temple Pujaris Peravai, located at No.43
Ramanujam Street, T.Nagar, Chennai 600 017 authored by Shgri R.P.V.S. Manian. If you
go through this, you will get some idea and start doing yourself, before learning Rudram,
Sri Suktham, etc.
Wish you all the best for your interest.
