Overview

Shiv Puja for families in Sainikpuri

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.

Sainikpuri is a leafy residential area in the north-east of Secunderabad, near AS Rao Nagar and Kapra. It was originally developed as a colony for defence personnel, and its wide streets, independent houses and calm atmosphere still reflect that planned beginning.

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 Sainikpuri

Independent houses and gardens are well suited for homams; keep a safe distance from dry plants.

Some colonies have security at the entrance, share the Pandit's details in advance.

Tell us your family's tradition and preferred language so the right Pandit is matched.

Allow travel time for early muhurthams, as Pandits may come from other parts of Secunderabad.

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

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