Pujas in Lanka
A lively neighbourhood near Banaras Hindu University and Assi Ghat, popular with students and visiting families.
About the area
Lanka
Lanka is the busy neighbourhood outside the main gate of Banaras Hindu University (BHU). Its roads are full of students, teachers, shops and eateries, and the residential colonies around it are home to many university and hospital families.
Because of the university and its hospital, Lanka also sees a steady flow of families from other towns, parents visiting students, or relatives accompanying someone receiving treatment. Many stay in guest houses or rented rooms nearby, and Assi Ghat is only a short distance away.
Rituals families seek here
The Sankat Mochan Hanuman temple is close to Lanka, and Hanuman devotion runs deep in the area. Families here often book Sundarkand path or Hanuman puja at home, especially on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
Families staying near the hospital sometimes arrange a Mahamrityunjaya jaap or a small havan for a loved one's wellbeing, performed at their accommodation or online with a sankalp. Students and young families also mark exams, new jobs or a child's milestones with Saraswati puja or Satyanarayan Puja.
Practical notes
- Traffic around the BHU gate is heavy for much of the day; morning slots are usually easier.
- Guest houses and rented rooms may not permit a havan, confirm before planning a fire ritual.
- A Mahamrityunjaya jaap can be done with an online sankalp if the family cannot leave the hospital.
- Assi Ghat is close by for pairing a home puja with a Ganga snan or tarpan.
- Tuesdays and Saturdays are busy near the Hanuman temple, so allow extra time on those days.
