Shiv Puja is the traditional worship of Lord Shiva in a simpler, accessible form.

Himayatnagar is one of central Hyderabad's best-known neighbourhoods, close to Narayanguda, Basheerbagh and Liberty. Its main road is famous for shopping, especially for sarees, jewellery and festival purchases, and it is also a well-known landmark area for the TTD Venkateswara temple.

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 Himayatnagar

The main shopping road is very crowded in festival and wedding seasons, plan the Pandit's arrival early in the day.

Parking is limited, so keep space near your building or share an easy drop-off point.

Older apartment buildings may not have lifts large enough for a havan kund, tell us so the Pandit can bring a compact one.

Check building rules on smoke before planning a homam indoors.

For Shraddha, share the tithi or date of passing and the ancestor's name in advance.

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

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