Ayyappa Padi Puja in Hyderabad
During the Mandala season, Ayyappa Swamy devotees in black attire are a familiar sight across Hyderabad, and homes and colonies host Padi Pujas with bhajans late into the evening before devotees leave for Sabarimala.

A Pandit or Guruswamy style team can perform Ayyappa Padi Puja at your home, terrace or community hall with the eighteen steps setup, bhajan, Sharanu ghosha and harathi.

निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा॥
Vakratuṇḍa mahākāya sūryakoṭi samaprabha, nirvighnaṁ kuru me deva sarvakāryeṣu sarvadā.
