Overview

Shashtipurti for families in Ghatkesar

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.

Ghatkesar sits on the Warangal highway beyond the Outer Ring Road, where the city gives way to open land. It is best known for the engineering and degree colleges along the highway, which bring students and staff from across Telangana.

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 Ghatkesar

Ghatkesar is a long drive from central Hyderabad; give the Pandit the full address and enough travel time.

For Bhoomi Puja, clear the plot, mark the corners and arrange drinking water and shade at the site.

Open plots suit a homam well, but bring a mat, a small table and a windbreak if the site is exposed.

Highway traffic towards Warangal is heavy through the day; morning muhurthams are simpler.

Share a live location pin, as new layouts are often not marked accurately on maps.

Share the birth star and date to fix the muhurtham.

Plan new clothes, mangalsutra and gifts for the couple as per custom.
