Overview

Shiv Puja for families in Amberpet

Shiv Puja is the traditional worship of Lord Shiva in a simpler, accessible form. It usually includes Ganesh puja, jal or milk abhishek of the Shivling, offering of bel patra, dhatura and white flowers, chanting of Om Namah Shivaya and Shiva stotras, and aarti. It can be performed with or without Mata Parvati and the Shiva parivar.

Amberpet is an old residential locality in eastern Hyderabad, tightly built and close to Nallakunta, Golnaka and the Musi. Independent houses, small blocks of flats and lanes barely wide enough for a car make up most of the neighbourhood.

ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम्।
उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान्मृत्योर्मुक्षीय माऽमृतात्॥

Oṁ tryambakaṁ yajāmahe sugandhiṁ puṣṭivardhanam, urvārukam iva bandhanān mṛtyor mukṣīya mā'mṛtāt.

We worship the three-eyed Lord, fragrant and nourishing. May he free us from bondage, as a ripe cucumber from its vine, and lead us towards immortality.Mahamrityunjaya Mantra, Rig Veda 7.59.12

Planning your puja in Amberpet

The lanes are narrow and often one way in practice; share a landmark and expect the Pandit to walk the last stretch.

For Shraddha, keep the details ready in advance, the ancestor's name, gotra and tithi, and the date of passing if you have it.

Shraddha and Tarpan are performed in the morning, so book an early slot and tell the household to plan the day around it.

Terraces and inner courtyards in these older houses are the usual place for a homam or havan.

During Pitru Paksha the demand is very high across the city, so enquire several days ahead.

Tell us whether you want the Telugu or North Indian vidhi.

Keep bilva leaves, milk, flowers and vibhuti ready, or ask for samagri.
