Overview

Kali Puja for families in Shivala

Kali Puja is the worship of Maa Kali, the form of the Divine Mother who is honoured as the destroyer of ignorance and fear. Though her form is fierce, devotees relate to her above all as a mother who protects her children, and her worship is marked by deep devotion rather than fear.

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.

वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ।

निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा॥

Traditional Ganesha prayer

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.
Tell us whether you follow the Bengali or North Indian vidhi.
Keep red hibiscus, a Kali image, diyas and prasad ready, or ask for samagri.
