Overview

Shraddha for families in Ameerpet

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.

Ameerpet is one of Hyderabad's busiest hubs, well known for its many software training institutes, hostels and shops, and for its metro interchange where two lines meet. Crowds of students and working professionals pass through every day.

Planning your puja in Ameerpet

Streets around the metro station are very congested; arrange an exact pickup or meeting point for the Pandit.

Rented flats may have landlord or society rules on homams, confirm before planning a fire ritual.

In small flats, a puja without homam or a very small kund near a window is often more practical.

Shop pujas are best held before opening hours, when the street is quieter.

Parking is limited in the inner lanes; the metro can be the easiest way for guests to arrive.

Keep the names and gotra of the departed ready.

Ask the purohit for the samagri and food preparation list.
