Overview

Bhoomi Puja for families in Tarnaka

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.

Tarnaka lies in north-east Hyderabad, close to Osmania University and on the route between Secunderabad and Uppal. It is a well-established residential area with older colonies, apartment buildings and several research and educational institutions nearby.
