Overview

Seemantham (Godh Bharai) for families in Shankarapuram

Seemantham, known in the North as Godh Bharai and in Tamil homes as Valaikappu, is the ceremony held during pregnancy to bless the expectant mother and her baby. Its Vedic name is Simantonnayana Sanskar, one of the sixteen sanskars.

Shankarapuram sits between Basavanagudi, Chamarajpet and Hanumanthanagar and takes its name from the Shankara Mutt, a branch of the Sringeri Sharada Peetham. The streets are mostly residential, with old tiled houses slowly giving way to small apartment buildings.

माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।

कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥

Planning Your Puja in Shankarapuram

Streets are narrow with limited parking; weekday mornings are generally calm.
Share your sutra (Apasthamba, Bodhayana and so on) and Veda shakha when booking a samskara.
Independent houses often have a courtyard or terrace suited to a homa.
PujaKarma is not connected with the Shankara Mutt; we arrange Pandits for homes and halls.
