Overview

Shraddha for families in Kompally

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.

Kompally lies on the northern edge of Hyderabad, along the highway towards Medchal and a short drive from Secunderabad. Once mostly farmland and nurseries, it is now dotted with villa communities, independent houses and apartment complexes, while keeping more open space than the city centre.

Planning your puja in Kompally

The highway through Kompally can be slow at peak hours, early starts help Pandits and guests arriving from the city.

Villa gardens and terraces are well suited to homams; keep a safe distance from dry plants.

For Bhoomi puja on an open plot, arrange shade, seating and water for the family.

Share a pinned location, as some newer communities and plots are not well mapped.

Villa communities usually still require gate passes for visitors.

Keep the names and gotra of the departed ready.

Ask the purohit for the samagri and food preparation list.
