    Overview

    Bhoomi Puja for families in Erragadda

    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.

    Erragadda sits on the north-west corridor of Hyderabad, with a metro station on the main road and the ESI and Chest Hospital campuses close by. Older housing colonies, market streets and a steady flow of hospital visitors give the area its everyday rhythm.

    वास्तोष्पते प्रति जानीह्यस्मान्

    स्वावेशो अनमीवो भवा नः॥

    Vāstoṣpate prati jānīhy asmān svāveśo anamīvo bhavā naḥ.

    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 Erragadda

    The main road near the metro station and the market is congested through the day; early morning is far easier for everyone.
    Colony lanes are narrow and often parked up, so give a landmark and your house or block number when you book.
    If the puja is for someone unwell, say so, and keep the setup in a quiet room away from the main hall.
    Terraces in older houses are usually the best place for a homam; check that the water tank and wiring are clear of the kund.
    Say whether you would like the mantras explained in Telugu so the family can follow along.
    Tell us whether you want Telugu or North Indian vidhi.
    Arrange a shamiana, water and seating at the plot.
