Overview
Bhoomi Puja for families in Babatpur
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.
Babatpur, on the north-western outskirts of Varanasi, is best known as the location of the city's airport, Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport. The area has villages, farmland, highway-side hotels and newer houses along the road into the city.
