Overview

Maha Shivratri Puja for families in Arekere

Maha Shivratri falls on the Chaturdashi of Krishna Paksha in the month of Phalguna (Magha in the amanta calendar), usually in February or March. Devotees observe a fast and worship Lord Shiva through the night, traditionally in four parts called prahars, with the Nishita Kaal around midnight considered especially holy.

Arekere stretches along Bannerghatta Road between Bilekahalli and Hulimavu, with IIM Bangalore just to the north and Arekere Gate as the main junction. Arekere Mico Layout, originally built for employees of the MICO (now Bosch) plant, gives the area its settled, residential feel.

ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम्।

उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान्मृत्योर्मुक्षीय माऽमृतात्॥

Mahamrityunjaya Mantra, Rig Veda 7.59.12

Planning Your Puja in Arekere

Arekere Gate and the stretch towards Hulimavu are slow at peak hours; allow extra time for the Pandit.
Shashtyabdapoorthi usually needs a hall or kalyana mantapa for guests; book it early.
Many independent houses have a terrace that suits a small homa.
Share the layout name and cross number when you enquire.
Decide between a single pooje, a Rudrabhisheka or all four praharas.
Keep bilva, milk, curd, honey, ghee, vibhuti and flowers ready for each prahara.
