Overview
Shiv Puja for families in Pandeypur
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.
Pandeypur is a busy, growing residential area in the northern part of Varanasi, on the road towards Sarnath. Its main crossing is lined with shops, clinics and schools, and the colonies around it have filled with new houses and apartment buildings in recent years.
ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम्।
उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान्मृत्योर्मुक्षीय माऽमृतात्॥
Oṁ tryambakaṁ yajāmahe sugandhiṁ puṣṭivardhanam, urvārukam iva bandhanān mṛtyor mukṣīya mā'mṛtāt.
Planning your puja in Pandeypur
The Pandeypur crossing gets congested at peak hours; morning muhurats are usually smoother.
Keep water and electricity connected in a new house before the Griha Pravesh.
Apartment buildings may have rules about havan smoke in common areas, so check first.
For Bhoomi puja on an empty plot, mark the spot and arrange basic shade and seating.
Share a landmark in newer colonies where addresses can be hard to find.
Mondays, Pradosh and Sawan are popular; book ahead for those days.
Keep Ganga jal, bel patra, white flowers and a small Shivling ready, or ask the Pandit to bring them.
