Overview
Shraddha for families in Alwal
Shraddha takes its name from the word for faith and sincere devotion. It is the rite through which families remember departed parents, grandparents and ancestors, offering pindas, water, sesame and food with prayers for their peace. Many families observe Shraddha every year on the tithi of a loved one’s passing and during Pitru Paksha.
Alwal lies in the northern part of Secunderabad, near Bolarum and on the way towards Kompally. It has a long history as a settled residential area, with traditional neighbourhoods and independent houses at its core.
ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः॥
Oṁ pitṛbhyaḥ svadhāyibhyaḥ svadhā namaḥ.
Planning your puja in Alwal
Railway crossings and busy main roads can slow travel, allow extra time for early muhurthams.
New gated communities require gate passes, register the Pandit with security in advance.
Independent houses often have terraces suited for a homam; apartments should check society rules.
Share a pinned location, as some newer projects are not well mapped.
