    Overview

    Shashtipurti for families in Gandipet

    Shashtipurti marks the completion of sixty years of life, when the sixty year cycle of the Hindu calendar comes back to the year of one’s birth. It is one of the most important family celebrations in Telugu, Tamil and Kannada homes, and increasingly in North Indian families too.

    Gandipet lies on the western edge of the city beside Osman Sagar, with the lake road, rocky outcrops and long stretches of green giving it a very different feel from the built-up neighbourhoods closer in. Land here is held in large parcels, and much of it is still open.

    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 Gandipet

    Share a map pin and the gate name, as many properties on the lake road have no numbered address.
    Open lawns are ideal for a homam; choose a spot away from dry grass and keep water or sand at hand.
    Wind off the lake can trouble the fire and the diyas, so plan a sheltered corner or a simple screen.
    Samagri and flower shops are some distance away, so arrange everything the previous day.
    Tell us how many guests are expected so the seating and prasadam can be planned.
    Share the birth star and date to fix the muhurtham.
    Plan new clothes, mangalsutra and gifts for the couple as per custom.
