Pujas in Shivpur
A fast-growing residential area on the western side of Varanasi, with new colonies, independent houses and apartments.
About the area
Shivpur
Shivpur is on the western side of Varanasi, beyond the busier central areas. Once more semi-rural, it has grown into a residential area with new colonies, independent houses, apartment buildings, schools and markets.
Families here include long-time residents as well as many who have recently built or bought homes. Houses tend to be more spacious than in central Kashi, often with terraces, courtyards or small open spaces.
Rituals families seek here
Griha Pravesh, Vastu Shanti and Bhoomi puja are frequently booked in Shivpur as new homes are built. The extra space in independent houses also makes larger family gatherings practical, such as a Satyanarayan Puja with relatives or a havan on a birthday or anniversary.
Many households follow traditional family rites such as mundan sanskar, upanayana sanskar and annual shraddha at home, and Vahan puja is common when a family buys a new car or two-wheeler.
Practical notes
- Allow extra travel time if the Pandit is coming from central Varanasi.
- Share your exact location pin, as newer colonies can be hard to navigate.
- Courtyards and terraces in independent houses suit a larger havan.
- For Vahan puja, park the vehicle in an open space with room around it.
