Overview
Bhoomi Puja for families in Rathyatra
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.
Rathyatra is one of the best-known crossings in central Varanasi, linking Sigra, Mahmoorganj and the roads towards the south of the city. Its name comes from the traditional Rath Yatra fair of Lord Jagannath held in the area each year.
