Overview

Shiv Puja for families in Kushaiguda

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.

Kushaiguda lies next to ECIL in the north-eastern part of the city and grew alongside it. The colonies here were laid out for staff of the public sector units and defence establishments nearby, and many of those families have stayed on for decades.

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 Kushaiguda

Many houses here have a dedicated puja room; tell the Pandit its size so the seating can be planned.

Gardens and terraces suit a homam well; keep the kund away from plants and dry leaves.

Karthika masam Mondays and Purnima dates fill up quickly, so enquire a week or two ahead.

For Shraddha or Tarpan, share the tithi and the number of family members attending.

Let us know if elders would prefer the katha and explanation entirely in Telugu.

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

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