Overview

Lakshmi Puja for families in Abids

Lakshmi Puja honours Goddess Mahalakshmi, the consort of Lord Vishnu, who is associated with shri: prosperity, abundance, grace and auspiciousness. The best-known Lakshmi Puja takes place on Diwali, the Amavasya of Kartik, when homes and shops are lit with diyas to welcome the Goddess.

Abids has been the commercial heart of Hyderabad for well over a century. Its streets are lined with jewellery stores, book and stationery shops, textile showrooms, banks and older office buildings, and the GPO and Sunday book market are landmarks known across the city.

नमस्तेऽस्तु महामाये श्रीपीठे सुरपूजिते।
शङ्खचक्रगदाहस्ते महालक्ष्मि नमोऽस्तु ते॥

Namaste'stu mahāmāye śrīpīṭhe surapūjite, śaṅkhacakragadāhaste mahālakṣmi namo'stu te.

Salutations to you, O great Maya, seated in prosperity and worshipped by the gods, holding the conch, discus and mace. O Mahalakshmi, salutations to you.Mahalakshmi Ashtakam

Planning your puja in Abids

Abids is at its quietest before shops open; almost every puja here is scheduled early in the morning.

Parking is extremely difficult on the main streets, so arrange a drop-off point and share the shop or building name clearly.

Older commercial buildings often prohibit open flames; check with the owner or manager and plan a diya-only puja if a homam is not permitted.

Smoke from a homam can carry into neighbouring shops, so use a small kund and keep the doors and windows set up sensibly.

Say how many staff and family members will attend so the prasadam can be planned for the right number.

Tell us whether you want a Telugu or North Indian vidhi and your preferred language.

For a business puja, keep account books or a laptop, keys and the cash box ready.
