    Overview

    Bhoomi Puja for families in Lal Darwaza

    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.

    Lal Darwaza lies in the Old City of Hyderabad, south of Charminar. It is one of the city's historic neighbourhoods, with narrow lanes, old houses and families who have lived here for many generations.
