    About the area

    Chikkadpally

    Chikkadpally lies just off RTC X Roads, between Narayanaguda, Ashok Nagar and Musheerabad. It is one of the older residential parts of central Hyderabad, with independent houses, small apartment buildings and busy market streets.

    The City Central Library and the many coaching institutes in neighbouring Ashok Nagar give the area a steady flow of students, while the residential lanes behind the main road remain home to families who have lived here for generations.

    Rituals families seek here

    Traditional Telugu household rites are kept up faithfully here: Satyanarayana Vratham, Varalakshmi Vratham in Shravana, and annual Shraddham for departed elders are common bookings.

    Families also call a Pandit for Upanayanam, Namakaranam and Aksharabhyasam for children, and for Gruhapravesam when an old house is rebuilt as a small apartment block.

    Practical notes

    • RTC X Roads is congested through the day, and especially in the evenings; morning muhurthams are easier to reach.
    • Many homes here are older independent houses; a courtyard or terrace is usually the best spot for a small homam.
    • Share a nearby landmark on the main road, as the inner lanes can be hard to find.
    • For Shraddham, tell us the tithi and your family's gotra and custom in advance.
