Overview

Bhoomi Puja for families in Manikonda

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.

Manikonda lies just south of Gachibowli, close to the Financial District and Narsingi. Once on the edge of the city, it has filled with apartment towers, gated communities and busy local markets as the IT corridor has expanded.

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 Manikonda

Ask your association whether homams are allowed and where, balconies, terraces or the clubhouse.

Keep windows open and temporarily cover or inform the facility team about smoke detectors near the homam spot.

Roads towards Gachibowli and the Financial District are busy at office hours; weekend or early slots help.

Some internal roads are still developing, so share a pinned location with the Pandit.

Use the service lift to move samagri and the kund.

Tell us whether you want Telugu or North Indian vidhi.

Arrange a shamiana, water and seating at the plot.
