    Overview

    Shraddha for families in Narayanaguda

    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.

    Narayanaguda lies between Himayatnagar, Kachiguda and Chikkadpally in central Hyderabad. It is known for its long established schools and colleges, and for the busy main road that links it to the rest of the city.

    ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः॥

    Oṁ pitṛbhyaḥ svadhāyibhyaḥ svadhā namaḥ.

    Planning your puja in Narayanaguda

    The Narayanaguda main road is congested through the day; morning muhurthams are easier.
    Share a landmark on the main road, as inner lanes can be confusing.
    For a homam in an independent house, the terrace is usually the best spot.
    Mention whether your family follows Telugu or another regional vidhi.
    Keep the names and gotra of the departed ready.
    Ask the purohit for the samagri and food preparation list.
