Uma Maheswara Pooja in Hyderabad
In Telugu homes, the worship of Shiva and Parvati together is often called Uma Maheswara pooja. Hyderabad families hold it for harmony in marriage, before a wedding or when looking for a good alliance.
A Pandit can perform the pooja at home in the Telugu vidhi or as Gauri Shankar puja in the North Indian style, with archana, mantra jaap and harathi.
ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम्।
उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान्मृत्योर्मुक्षीय माऽमृतात्॥
Oṁ tryambakaṁ yajāmahe sugandhiṁ puṣṭivardhanam, urvārukam iva bandhanān mṛtyor mukṣīya mā'mṛtāt.
