Overview

Durga Puja for families in Abids

Durga Puja honours Goddess Durga, the fierce yet compassionate form of Shakti who, in the Devi Mahatmya, defeats the buffalo demon Mahishasura. She is worshipped as a mother who protects her devotees and restores balance when adharma rises.

Abids has been the commercial heart of Hyderabad for well over a century. Its streets are lined with jewellery stores, book and stationery shops, textile showrooms, banks and older office buildings, and the GPO and Sunday book market are landmarks known across the city.

या देवी सर्वभूतेषु शक्तिरूपेण संस्थिता।
नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमो नमः॥

Yā devī sarvabhūteṣu śaktirūpeṇa saṁsthitā, namastasyai namastasyai namastasyai namo namaḥ.

To the Goddess who dwells in all beings in the form of power, salutations to her, again and again.Devi Mahatmyam (Durga Saptashati)

Planning your puja in Abids

Abids is at its quietest before shops open; almost every puja here is scheduled early in the morning.

Parking is extremely difficult on the main streets, so arrange a drop-off point and share the shop or building name clearly.

Older commercial buildings often prohibit open flames; check with the owner or manager and plan a diya-only puja if a homam is not permitted.

Smoke from a homam can carry into neighbouring shops, so use a small kund and keep the doors and windows set up sensibly.

Say how many staff and family members will attend so the prasadam can be planned for the right number.

Tell us whether you follow a Telugu, Bengali or North Indian vidhi.

Share the number of families for a clubhouse puja so samagri can be planned.
