    Overview

    Pitru Dosha Puja for families in Pandeypur

    Pitru Dosha Puja is a traditional puja performed to honour the ancestors and seek their peace and blessings. In Vedic astrology, Pitru Dosha is a term used for certain planetary combinations that are traditionally linked with unfulfilled duties towards ancestors. Many families also perform the puja simply when regular Shraddha has not been possible.

    Pandeypur is a busy, growing residential area in the northern part of Varanasi, on the road towards Sarnath. Its main crossing is lined with shops, clinics and schools, and the colonies around it have filled with new houses and apartment buildings in recent years.

    ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः॥

    Oṁ pitṛbhyaḥ svadhāyibhyaḥ svadhā namaḥ.

    Planning your puja in Pandeypur

    The Pandeypur crossing gets congested at peak hours; morning muhurats are usually smoother.
    Keep water and electricity connected in a new house before the Griha Pravesh.
    Apartment buildings may have rules about havan smoke in common areas, so check first.
    For Bhoomi puja on an empty plot, mark the spot and arrange basic shade and seating.
    Share a landmark in newer colonies where addresses can be hard to find.
    Share your horoscope details if Pitru Dosha was identified astrologically.
    Bring names and gotra of ancestors where known.
