Overview

Seemantham (Godh Bharai) for families in Beeramguda

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.

Beeramguda lies just off the Mumbai highway beyond Miyapur, close to Ameenpur and the BHEL side of the city. It has grown quickly in recent years as apartment projects filled in the land between the highway and the older village settlements.

माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।
कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥

Māṅgalyaṁ tantunānena mama jīvanahetunā, kaṇṭhe badhnāmi subhage tvaṁ jīva śaradāṁ śatam.

With this holy thread, the cause of my life, I tie the mangalya around your neck, O auspicious one. May you live for a hundred autumns.Traditional vivaha mantra

Planning your puja in Beeramguda

Share the project name and block along with your flat number, as several apartment complexes here have similar names.

Newly handed-over buildings may still have restrictions on smoke and open flames; check with the builder's facility team.

Access from the Mumbai highway service road can be slow during peak hours; an early muhurtham is easier.

Vahana Puja is usually done in the parking area or just outside the gate, with the society's permission.

Tell us the approximate number of guests so the seating and prasadam can be planned.

Plan bangles, flowers, fruits and gifts for the elders' blessings.

Share the muhurtham with the hall and caterer.
