Overview

Lakshmi Puja for families in Gandipet

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.

Gandipet lies on the western edge of the city beside Osman Sagar, with the lake road, rocky outcrops and long stretches of green giving it a very different feel from the built-up neighbourhoods closer in. Land here is held in large parcels, and much of it is still open.

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 Gandipet

Share a map pin and the gate name, as many properties on the lake road have no numbered address.

Open lawns are ideal for a homam; choose a spot away from dry grass and keep water or sand at hand.

Wind off the lake can trouble the fire and the diyas, so plan a sheltered corner or a simple screen.

Samagri and flower shops are some distance away, so arrange everything the previous day.

Tell us how many guests are expected so the seating and prasadam can be planned.

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.
