Overview
Chandi Homam for families in Shamshabad
Chandi Homam is a fire ritual dedicated to Goddess Chandi, the fierce form of Durga. It is traditionally performed alongside the recitation of the Durga Saptashati (Devi Mahatmyam), with offerings made into the holy fire as its verses are chanted.
Shamshabad lies on the southern edge of Hyderabad, best known as the location of Rajiv Gandhi International Airport. Once a small town on the Bengaluru highway, it now has new residential layouts, apartment projects, farmhouses and hotels serving travellers.
या देवी सर्वभूतेषु शक्तिरूपेण संस्थिता।
नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमो नमः॥
Yā devī sarvabhūteṣu śaktirūpeṇa saṁsthitā, namastasyai namastasyai namastasyai namo namaḥ.
Planning your puja in Shamshabad
If you are flying in or out, share your flight timings so the ritual can be planned with enough buffer.
The ORR and airport road are usually quick, but allow extra time for Pandits coming from the city.
Farmhouses and open plots suit homams; arrange shade, seating and water.
Share a pinned location, as newer layouts and farmhouses can be hard to find.
Hotels usually restrict open flames, check with the hotel before planning a homam there.
Book a few weeks ahead for Navaratri or Ashadha dates.
Choose a venue that allows a sustained homam and has space for several Pandits.
