    Overview

    Maha Shivratri Puja for families in Daraganj

    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.

    Daraganj is one of the oldest neighbourhoods of Prayagraj, stretched along the Ganga just north of the Sangam. Its narrow lanes, old houses and ghats have long been home to Tirth Purohit families, and the area comes fully alive every winter when the Magh Mela spreads across the sands below it.

    ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम्।

    उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान्मृत्योर्मुक्षीय माऽमृतात्॥

    Oṁ tryambakaṁ yajāmahe sugandhiṁ puṣṭivardhanam, urvārukam iva bandhanān mṛtyor mukṣīya mā'mṛtāt.

    We worship the three-eyed Lord, fragrant and nourishing. May he free us from bondage, as a ripe cucumber from its vine, and lead us towards immortality.Mahamrityunjaya Mantra, Rig Veda 7.59.12

    Planning Your Puja in Daraganj

    Lanes are narrow; expect to walk the last stretch to the ghats and to many homes.
    The area is very busy during the Magh Mela and on major snan days, so plan extra time.
    Share your exact meeting point on WhatsApp, as landmarks are easier than addresses here.
    Ask the Pandit whether your rite is better done on the ghat or at the Sangam by boat.
