Overview

Bhoomi Puja for families in Banjara Hills

Bhoomi Puja is performed on a plot of land before construction starts. It honours Bhoomi Devi (Mother Earth), Vastu Purusha and the directional deities, seeking permission to dig into the land and asking forgiveness for any disturbance to the life it supports.

Banjara Hills is one of Hyderabad's longest-established upscale neighbourhoods, spread over rocky hills in the centre of the city. Its numbered roads are lined with independent houses, low-rise apartments, hospitals, corporate offices and restaurants, and Birla Mandir on Naubat Pahad is a short drive away.

स्वावेशो अनमीवो भवा नः॥

O Lord of the dwelling, know us as your own. Be a happy abode for us, free from affliction.Rig Veda 7.54.1

Planning your puja in Banjara Hills

Road No. 1 to Road No. 12 and the roads towards Panjagutta can be heavily congested at office hours; early mornings are easiest.

Gardens or terraces in independent houses are ideal for a homam; keep the kund away from plants and dry leaves.

Arrange parking or a drop-off point for the Pandit, as street parking can be limited on busy roads.

For clinics or offices, check building management rules on open flames and smoke detectors.

Share whether you prefer the explanation in Telugu, Hindi or English.

Tell us whether you want Telugu or North Indian vidhi.

Arrange a shamiana, water and seating at the plot.
