    Overview

    Shashtipurti for families in Pragathi Nagar

    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.

    Pragathi Nagar was laid out as a planned residential colony near Nizampet and Bachupally, with wide internal roads and a grid of plots that have steadily filled with houses and apartment towers. Schools, clinics and shops have followed, making it largely self-contained.

    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 Pragathi Nagar

    Register the Pandit's name and number with the gate security a day in advance for a smooth entry.
    Check your association's rules on homam smoke; a small kund on a balcony or in a ventilated room is often permitted.
    Use the service lift to carry the kalasham, samagri and kund up together.
    The community hall is useful for Namakaranam or Seemantham with many guests; book it before fixing the Pandit's time.
    Roads towards Nizampet and Bachupally are slow at office hours, so an early muhurtham is easier.
    Share the birth star and date to fix the muhurtham.
    Plan new clothes, mangalsutra and gifts for the couple as per custom.
