Overview

Hayagriva Puja for families in Rathyatra

Hayagriva Puja is the worship of Lord Hayagriva, the form of Lord Vishnu with the head of a horse, honoured as the lord of knowledge and learning. He is especially revered in the Sri Vaishnava and Madhva traditions of South India, often together with Goddess Lakshmi as Lakshmi Hayagriva.

Rathyatra is one of the best-known crossings in central Varanasi, linking Sigra, Mahmoorganj and the roads towards the south of the city. Its name comes from the traditional Rath Yatra fair of Lord Jagannath held in the area each year.

वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ।

निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा॥

Traditional Ganesha prayer

Planning Your Puja in Rathyatra

The crossing is congested for much of the day; early-morning slots are easiest.
During the Rath Yatra fair, expect road diversions and heavy crowds nearby.
Commercial buildings may restrict open flames, so check before a havan.
Parking can be limited near the crossing; arrange a drop-off point for the Pandit.
Share the student's name, nakshatra and the exam or course.
Keep books, pens and a notebook near the altar if your family follows that custom.
