Overview

Seemantham (Godh Bharai) for families in Durgakund

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.

Durgakund takes its name from the historic Durga temple and the large water tank, or kund, beside it. The area sits in south Varanasi between Bhelupur and Lanka, along the road that leads towards the Sankat Mochan Hanuman temple, and it has long been one of the most devotional parts of Kashi.

माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।

कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥

Traditional vivaha mantra

Planning Your Puja in Durgakund

Roads around the temple become very crowded during Navratri, so plan early-morning pujas and allow extra travel time.
Book Pandits well ahead for Durga Saptashati path during Navratri, as demand is high across the city.
Flower and samagri stalls near the temple make last-minute items easy to find.
Guest houses may not allow a havan indoors; ask about a terrace before planning a fire ritual.
Tuesdays and Saturdays bring extra traffic on the Sankat Mochan road.
Arrange a comfortable seat for the mother.
Prepare fruits, sweets, bangles and gifts for the lap filling.
