Overview

Shiv Puja for families in Kothaguda

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.

Kothaguda is best known for its junction on the road between Kondapur and Gachibowli, with the Botanical Garden on one side and a steady flow of IT commuters passing through. The flyover and service roads carry much of west Hyderabad's daily traffic.

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 Kothaguda

The junction and flyover approach are slow from morning to late evening; an early muhurtham is far easier for everyone.

Newer towers usually need the Pandit's name and phone number registered at the gate a day in advance.

In the older village lanes, parking is tight, so arrange a drop-off point near the house.

Independent houses here often have a terrace that suits a small homam; keep water or sand close by.

Tell us whether you would like the explanation in Telugu, Hindi or English.

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

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