    Overview

    Ayushya Homam for families in Gandipet

    Ayushya Homam is a Vedic homam dedicated to Ayur Devata, the deity associated with lifespan (ayus). It is especially common in South Indian households, where it is traditionally performed on a child's first birthday and on birthdays reckoned by janma nakshatra, the lunar star under which a person was born.

    Gandipet lies on the western edge of the city beside Osman Sagar, with the lake road, rocky outcrops and long stretches of green giving it a very different feel from the built-up neighbourhoods closer in. Land here is held in large parcels, and much of it is still open.

    ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम्।

    उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान्मृत्योर्मुक्षीय माऽमृतात्॥

    Oṁ tryambakaṁ yajāmahe sugandhiṁ puṣṭivardhanam, urvārukam iva bandhanān mṛtyor mukṣīya mā'mṛtāt.

    We worship the three-eyed Lord, fragrant and nourishing. May he free us from bondage, as a ripe cucumber from its vine, and lead us towards immortality.Mahamrityunjaya Mantra, Rig Veda 7.59.12

    Planning your puja in Gandipet

    Share a map pin and the gate name, as many properties on the lake road have no numbered address.
    Open lawns are ideal for a homam; choose a spot away from dry grass and keep water or sand at hand.
    Wind off the lake can trouble the fire and the diyas, so plan a sheltered corner or a simple screen.
    Samagri and flower shops are some distance away, so arrange everything the previous day.
    Tell us how many guests are expected so the seating and prasadam can be planned.
