Overview

Sathabhishekam for families in Chowk

Sathabhishekam is the celebration of a person’s eightieth year, traditionally reckoned as the time when they have seen a thousand full moons. It is also known as Sahasra Chandra Darshan and is especially cherished in South Indian families.

Chowk is the old commercial heart of Varanasi, a dense network of lanes filled with wholesale markets, silk and sari shops, sweet shops and tall old houses. It lies in the old city between Godowlia and Maidagin, with the lanes towards Kashi Vishwanath close by.

माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।

कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥

Traditional vivaha mantra

Planning Your Puja in Chowk

Vehicles cannot reach most lanes, so expect to walk and carry samagri by hand.
Shop pujas are usually done early, before the market opens and crowds build.
Diwali and Dhanteras are very busy for business pujas, so book ahead.
Share a clear landmark such as a well-known shop, as lanes can be confusing.
Rooftops in old houses are often the best place for a havan.
Share the elder's birth star and date to find the right day.
Arrange a comfortable seat and rest breaks for the elder.
