    Overview

    Durga Puja for families in Shamshabad

    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.

    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.

    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 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.
    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.
