Overview

Bhoomi Puja for families in Film Nagar

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.

Film Nagar lies beside Jubilee Hills in west Hyderabad, and as the name suggests, it grew up around the Telugu film industry. Many film families still live here, alongside professionals and business families in independent houses and upscale apartments.
