Overview

Shiv Puja for families in Kachiguda

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.

Kachiguda grew around its railway station, one of the older stations of the city, and still carries that character of trade, lodging houses and shop-lined streets. Chikkadpally, Narayanguda and the old city are all within a short distance.

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 Kachiguda

Streets around the station and the market stay busy from early morning; an early slot or a Sunday is usually easiest.

Parking near the older buildings is very limited, so plan a drop-off point and share the exact building name.

Living floors above shops are often reached by a narrow staircase; keep the route clear for samagri and a havan kund.

Terraces are the usual place for a havan in these buildings, subject to the family's and the building's agreement.

Tell us if you want the katha in Hindi and the vidhi in the North Indian style.

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

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