Overview
Hanuman Puja for families in Shivala
Hanuman Puja is the worship of Lord Hanuman, the devoted servant of Shri Rama, revered for his strength, humility, courage and unwavering bhakti. He is also known as Bajrangbali, Pavanputra, Anjaneya and Sankat Mochan, the one who removes troubles.
Shivala is a residential neighbourhood along the river between Assi and Kedar Ghat. Its lanes lead down to Shivala Ghat and the smaller ghats nearby, which are generally calmer than the busy central stretch of Kashi's riverfront.
मनोजवं मारुततुल्यवेगं जितेन्द्रियं बुद्धिमतां वरिष्ठम्।
वातात्मजं वानरयूथमुख्यं श्रीरामदूतं शरणं प्रपद्ये॥
Manojavaṁ mārutatulyavegaṁ jitendriyaṁ buddhimatāṁ variṣṭham, vātātmajaṁ vānarayūthamukhyaṁ śrīrāmadūtaṁ śaraṇaṁ prapadye.
Planning your puja in Shivala
Vehicles can reach the main road, but the last stretch to houses near the river is often on foot.
Steps down to the ghats can be steep, so plan for elderly relatives.
Mornings are peaceful for snan and sankalp before a home puja.
Water levels rise during the monsoon and some ghat steps may be under water.
Confirm with your guest house before planning a havan on the terrace.
Keep sindoor, jasmine oil, red flowers, boondi or gud chana ready, or ask for samagri.
Tell us if you want Sundarkand added, as it extends the timing.
