Overview

Ayyappa Puja for families in Sigra

Ayyappa Puja is the worship of Lord Ayyappa, also called Dharma Sastha and Manikanta, the deity of the Sabarimala temple in Kerala. Every year, from around November to January, lakhs of devotees across South India keep a strict deeksha of prayer, simplicity and discipline before making the pilgrimage.

Sigra is one of the more central, modern parts of Varanasi, the city also known as Kashi, with broad roads, hotels, showrooms and residential colonies. It sits between the railway station side of the city and the old city, which makes it a common place for visitors to stay.

Planning Your Puja in Sigra

Apartment buildings may have smoke detectors in common areas, plan the havan spot carefully.
Shop and office openings are often timed before business hours to avoid traffic and customers.
