Overview
Bhoomi Puja for families in Chitaipur
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.
Chitaipur is a developing residential area in the southern part of Varanasi, near Sundarpur and the roads leading towards BHU. New apartment buildings, independent houses and colonies have come up here as the city has grown.
