Overview

Ayushya Homam for families in Shankarpally

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.

Shankarpally is a town on the western outskirts of Hyderabad, reached by the Mokila and Chevella roads past the Outer Ring Road. It keeps the character of a small town with its own market and older settlements, surrounded by farmland and rocky open country.

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 Shankarpally

Share a map pin, the layout name and the plot number, as addresses on new layouts are hard to find otherwise.

Sites here are open and exposed; arrange shade, drinking water and a level patch for the puja.

Very early muhurthams are usual for Bhoomi Puja, so confirm the timing a few days ahead to allow for the drive out.

Buy samagri, the kalasham and navadhanyalu in the city or in Shankarpally town the previous day.

For a homam on open ground, pick a sheltered spot and keep water or sand nearby as a simple precaution.

Share the child's birth star and preferred date.

Plan the homam before the celebration so guests can join the blessings.
