Overview

Maha Shivratri Puja for families in Chitaipur

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.

Chitaipur is a developing residential area in the southern part of Varanasi, near Sundarpur and the roads leading towards BHU. New apartment buildings, independent houses and colonies have come up here as the city has grown.

ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम्।

उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान्मृत्योर्मुक्षीय माऽमृतात्॥

Mahamrityunjaya Mantra, Rig Veda 7.59.12

Planning Your Puja in Chitaipur

Share an exact location pin, as newer colonies and buildings can be hard to find.
Apartment societies may have rules about havan smoke, so check first.
Keep water and electricity working in the new home before Griha Pravesh.
For Bhoomi puja on a plot, arrange basic shade, water and seating.
Allow extra time if combining a home puja with a visit to the ghats.
Decide whether you want a single evening puja or the full char prahar vidhi.
Keep Ganga jal, milk, bel patra, dhatura and bhasm ready, or ask for samagri.
