Pujas in Manduadih
A residential area in south-west Varanasi around the railway station now known as Banaras, with colonies and new homes.
About the area
Manduadih
Manduadih is in the south-western part of Varanasi, around the railway station that was renamed Banaras station. The area has a mix of older settlements, residential colonies, markets and newer houses and apartments.
Families visiting Kashi by train sometimes arrive at this station, and the area is well connected by road to Mahmoorganj, BHU and the rest of the city. Many residents are families who have built homes here as the city has expanded.
Rituals families seek here
Griha Pravesh, Vastu Shanti and Satyanarayan Puja are frequently booked in Manduadih's newer colonies. Families also hold havans for birthdays and anniversaries and mark a new vehicle with Vahan puja.
Traditional household rites such as mundan sanskar, namkaran and annual shraddha are common here. Visitors arriving at Banaras station for a short pilgrimage can arrange a puja at their stay before heading to the ghats.
Practical notes
- Convenient for families arriving at Banaras station who want a puja soon after reaching.
- Share an exact location pin, as newer colonies can be hard to find.
- Allow extra time to reach the ghats for early-morning rituals.
- Independent houses often have terraces suited to a havan.
- Railway crossings nearby can cause short delays, so plan buffer time.
